If it was an illegal hit and Ainge was SERIOUSLY injured, and Hoyte went to the press and said he didn't really care what happened, then we have some media fodder.
Yeah, and don't we all expect players to hit HARD legally? Playing it any other way is disrespectful to the game. So what he said is not only correct, but should also be the motto of every player. What would football be like if every player started considering how hard a hit would be too hard?
