Rubber hoods are required at a lot of college/pro basketball games to protect the floor, actually. When you switch bodies, it's hard to put the lens down carefully, and they don't want any smudges or scratches.

I was photog at a big party (and well, also visitor, since my regular employer was also my client) and captured this guy with his 40D, EF-s 55-250 IS and 430EX. Pure luck that I caught the flash.
