The mask strap goes OVER the hood. If you are getting kicked in the face by your buddy, it's time to find a new one. Dropping a mask is a minor inconvenience if you have a spare mask.
I agree - what if you have a lens failure on your mask, or any other kind of leak where you have to switch to your back up mask. Taking off the mask with the strap inside the hood is nearly impossible without taking off your hood, and good luck with that in 36F water...
