This high school game, between two teams with trapping defenses and fast-break offenses, had more action than pro games.

for some reason i can't get over the fact that in the first picture, the player appears still while his arms are moving the ball towards the hoop.
these were shot with the 70-200 f/4?

XTi and a Canon 70-300mm IS USM. High ISO, shutter priority, levels adjustments and noise reduction.

These teams provided a lot of action. Lots of running, no walk-it-up or halfcourt set plays. The team in white made three big comebacks to win the game.

The color of the school where the game was played was green. Couldn't get rid of all of it. :(

Actually the color cast is very easy to get rid of, I can post a sample if you like.

I use curves too Danny but I use the eye droppers to pick the shadows, highlights, and midtones and equalize the RGB.

Which makes a better sports pic, total crispness or a slight blur of the ball or feet to indicate movement? I always thought one should try to freeze the action, and lately I've been reading to allow a little blur to indicate motion. I've seen too many blurry action shots that I've been aiming for freezing the action.

freezing action depending on the sport. Unless it is Motor related like racing, there should be almost no blur.
