I wouldn't be upset. Like leakbrewergator said, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. And he's also doing it to honor his late grandfather, and I don't think that's a bad idea.
Calathes has dual citizenship, so that aspect isn't an issue. I agree with his doing it to honor his family; also, he'll be experiencing a higher calibre of basketball play in the Olympics which should be a bonus to him coning back for the 2008-09 season.
As long as he doesn't get hurt. Imagine if he ends up blowing an ACL is is out for the entire Gator 08-09 season. Then I think the players might be pissed that he went.
