I believe this is another case of the opposing alliance not being able to force you into a penalty. 1114 and 2809 were fighting back and forth and 1114 managed to get pointing straight down the field, 2809 hits their corner and spins them towards the side of the field right as they fire off the kick.
2809 may have altered the shot angle, but that had nothing to do with the actual decision to release the ball under duress. It is the shooter's responsibility to verify the ball will launch in a safe direction when firing. Let's call it the "Dick Cheney Rule". If that outcome is in question, then don't shoot the ball. I would like referees to consider <G19> and <S01> whenever such a skewed shot result occurs.

I'm just glad Dan's camera/head (I'm not sure which one he values more ) wasn't hit.
