Whether or not you agree that Wideman *did* try to make deliberate contact, it is the appearance of it that has him in trouble.
I disagree that Wideman had intent. I view it as he saw him last second and the shove was reactionary and accidental. The same as how Joseph didn't intend to trip and hit the ref causing him to fall.
