Looks like you need to heed your own words...targeting with the crown (rule 9-1-3) is separate from targeting a defenseless player (9-1-4).

PROTECTION OF DEFENSELESS
PLAYERS AND CROWN-OF-
HELMET ACTION—
In 2008, the committee introduced a separate rule
prohibiting forcible contact with the helmet and targeting a defenseless
opponent. These actions are now in two rules: Targeting and Making
Forcible Contact With the Crown of the Helmet (Rule 9-1-3) and Targeting
and Making Forcible Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player
(Rule 9-1-4). Use of the helmet as a weapon and intentional (targeted)
contact to the head or neck area are serious safety concerns. The penalties
for fouls under both 9-1-3 and 9-1-4 include automatic disqualification.
The committee continues to emphasize that coaches and officials must be
diligent to insure that players understand and abide by these rules.
Rule 2-27-14 defines and lists characteristics of a defenseless player.

RULE 9

ARTICLE 3. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of his helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul. (Rule 9-6) (A.R. 9-1-3-I)

Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to Head
or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player

ARTICLE 4. No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head
or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)
