That's the way Crouch was taught to go for a ground ball. If Carroll had learnt the same technique, there would have been no head contact.
I agree that the game has to evolve to minimise head knocks but part of that evolution is a return to good technique and the elimination of foolhardy play encouraged by the rules as they are interpreted now. If two players went for the ball as Carroll did, it would have resulted in a head clash.
