Here are some recent shots from a couple of games. Still tinkering a little.

I haven't figured out how to direct my lighting so I don't get so harsh a light in the corners. I have one player that is pretty much a sniper from the corners and the light is always too harsh on him like in #4

    Light is going to be hotter in the corners no matter what... I don't think bouncing or anything else is going to help you there. It's just subject->light distance and there is no way, beyond changing your aperture on the fly that you are going to eliminate this.

    Well, I think you could, but it would require moving your lights as far away as possible from the court, which means your power consumption is going to go up or your ISO is going to go up... with your lights farther away the distance between the sideline and the basket I think would start to even out... I'm just thinking out loud on that one though.
