EOS Re: Why would you reverse the hood on a 70-200 f/2.8L while you are shooting?

I was at an NHL game in California last week, and one of the pro
photographers shooting the game was using a 1Ds body with a 70-200 f/2.8L
lens.  OK, no questions there.  But he had the hood reversed on the lens
during the entire game.

Just sloppy technique. IMHO hoods (mounted properly during shooting) are ABSOLUTELY necessary. The only time you don't need a hood is when the lens is in the camera bag.
