In my swimming official training, there's a line where they say

I used to support "targeting" calls.

You don't think that last call in the Neb-Iowa game was helmet-to-helmet?

It was about as textbook helmet-to-helmet as it gets

I was watching from the kitchen, but it looked weak.

By making it a black & white call you remove officials from having to judge

True. However, by nature collision sports have grey areas.

What was "gray" about that call? Dude lowered his head and struck "defenseless"

I just made a general statement. I never said it would 100% apply here.

There is grey & this wasn't one of them.

How much judging of "intent" occurs in swimming?

Intent? Zero. But, you're judging how someone is performing a stroke underwater
