No, what he is saying is Wideman made a split second bad decision. It was not premeditated, he did not intend to do it, it happened. This happens to people all the time. As for his reactions on the bench it looks more to me like a guy who is realizing what he just did and is in shock by it. It was an emotional reaction that was not controlled by the player. If you want to argue Wideman should not be suspended for that have at it.
