Thanks for the compliment on both the basketball and wrestling shots. Just out of curiosity, what am I supposed to be safe about? I spend three or four nights a week inside gyms with 1,000 plus people, so if you are concerned with covid, that ship has already sailed, if it's something else, shooting wrestling and basketball are pretty safe, not nearly as potentially hazardous as football, or even baseball.

I like the last one - if you can’t block the ball, cover their eyes !
The offensive player got called for a charge before I took the photo, so everything after that didn't really happen.

Shots are nice. However am I seeing motion blur?

You probably are seeing motion blur.. I don't like to go over 12,800 ISO and that gym is so dark that at 12,800 1/800th of a second at f2.8 is one full stop underexposed. That leaves the choice of either shooting badly underexposed at 1/1000th of a second, jacking the ISO up to 26,800 or having a small amount of motion blur. I choose the small amount of motion blur. People regularly question my choice of exposure until they have to shoot in that gym. It is the darkest gym I have ever seen. When I first started working there they had mercury vapor lights and you could shoot at f2.8 at 1/1000th of a second at ISO 6,400 and be properly exposed. They replaced those lights with florescent lights about 12 years ago and the correct exposure went up to f2.8 1/1000th of a second at ISO 10,000. Since then they replaced the florescent lights with led lights and because of the higher cost for bulbs cut the number of bulbs in half. Now a correct exposure is actually f2.8 at 1/500th of a second at ISO 12,800. Can't shoot with that slow of a shutter speed, so I split the difference underexposing some and using too slow a shutter speed to stop all motion blur.
