But the sideline reporter from ESPN said it happened right in front of her and 
she didn't think it was intentional, and Hodge's reaction was one of surprise 
and he went to help the KY player right away. I can see why the refs called it 
the way they did, just mentioning I have heard a contrary opinion.

  "Intent" had to do with whether it was "Flagrant" or not, Leon.  It's the 
"Flagrant" part that got him ejected from the game.  This is why they reviewed 
and reviewed and reviewed the tape.  I did not see it, was listening on radio, 
but the vast majority of those who did see it, even Gator fans, agree that it 
sure looked intentional.  And Walter does have a reputation as a hot-head.  
Billy must have agreed because from what I heard, he didn't contest it.

    As a former official, I don’t think it is a judgment call.  Intent has 
nothing to do with it.  If you step on a down player, it is a foul.

    Billy was very gracious about the call.  He said that the referees were put 
in a bad spot trying to discern Hodges intent.  On the replay it appeared as if 
Hodge was looking down when he stepped.  In the end the officials thought that 
they should err on the side of caution.  



    Several courtside including GatorCountry’s Franz and the ESPN sideline 
reporter reported that they thought it was accidental.

    Has Billy D said anything about the bad call on Water Hodge at KY? His 
ejection put us at a disadvantage and really cost us the game .

    Did anybody watch the game last night on ESPN?

    Another pain filled night for me yesterday...great show put up by Calathes 
(I am not going to totally blame him for the loss though...since there is not 
telling what would have happened even if he had made all his 3 FTs). The rest 
of the team needs show up real fast!

    Dan Werner...what is with him? There was so much promise and expectations 
but so less productiviity. He seems so indecisive every time he has the ball in 
his hand! :-(
