Shot UCONN girls (and boys - when they were both ranked #1) girls with their first undefeated season way back when- never had a problem. Now with digital its even easier with auto white balance and shutter preferred. Go into your menu to the camera icon to set picture control, neutral, and raise the clarity up one and lower the contrast one (at least one - more if you can but then you may have to run it through literoom to add some snap). What this does in the digital age is expand your tonal range so the blacks have detail and the whites aren't blown out (anyone remember the zone system?) I do it all the time with outdoor sports in the sunlight with a team wearing white and the player has dark skin. THERE ARE LIMITS !! The shine on someone who's sweating will almost always be blown out unless the player is shaded by another player or bent over or out of the lights. SI and others lower the rectangle above the court and set up quad heads in each corner and use remotes to shoot low ISO's. (If you can get in early, you can see what they do - worked with CH7 on ice skating championships). If you really look at some of the shots in sports publications you can see some really weird shadows when (if) they use lights. Keep it at shutter preferred (start at 1/500th although I've had to go higher) and raise your ISO until you have a decent f/stop. Unfortunately, division 1 makes you stay in the same spot under the basket. I found going up into the isles and into the stands for hockey and other indoor sports is much better. You'll see the TV guys on cranes raising up to get a much better overall floor view. You stand up or do anything other than stay right where you are and you may be immediately escorted out. The Boston Garden and other high end arenas (Hartford is OK, Gampel Pavilion is manageable) have such great available light that you won't need to go above ISO 800. If someone uses the flashes and they shoot at the same time you do, it will definitely be blown but at least you know you're shooting at the same instance as the top guns in the industry.
