First try shooting basketball with Flashes and PW's on stands in the corners. I'm using 2 -Canon 580ex's w/ multimax's on the corners approx. 13' up with full power direct flash (24mm) pointed toward the key.

Many of my shots look as though the players are in a swimming pool " Lots of Reflections"

Check out the back wall.

Any Suggestions?

    Try to bounce the lights off the ceiling. Or maybe shoot into an umbrella?

    Were you shooting one end or trying to cover both? If both, try one end with
    both flash units.

    Not sure the flashes will have enough power for this.
