No one knows.
It's applied differently in all cases.

Forcible contact to the head and neck area of a defenseless player is textbook targeting and the refs just overturned it. Both players got hurt on the play too

Looked like the defender was trying to get to the ball to me

Neither does the ref in the booth.

Intent has nothing to do with the call when it's a defenseless player.

Just copy basketball, if it’s a hit to the head, whatever, it can be a penalty if you really want it to. If it’s obviously malicious like Vontaze Burfect or something, then it’s a flagrant and you can get ejected.

No the rule is-
there was no indicator- he didn't launch, he didn't crouch, there was no upward thrust, he didn't lower his head

Targeting and Making Forcible Contact With the Crown of the Helmet
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

the ref expert said it would be an easy call in favor of targeting.
after they said it wasn't targeting, the expert starts talking about the lack of an indicator

The defender’s crown was facing the roof when they collided.

Rule shouldn’t even exist anymore. So dumb. 15 yard flag and move on

Then we listened to the media official talk about looking for "indicators" which I've never heard before tonight

Forcible contact is an indicator unless they changed their mind on that too

Touching another player

He was looking at the ball and they ran into each other. Not targeting when you aren’t even looking.

So we’re back to the OP’s point. What is targeting?
