According to the crew, there was no doubt he did not mean to strike the official, but is he accountable for his actions? Would your answer change based on whether or not the official could continue to officiate the contest?

I've got USC, 15 yards ... whether the official could continue or not... and actually, whether the helmet hit the official in the first place or not. Throwing equipment in anger is USC.
