The 2.8 lens is your best one to use. The light inside the gym is not going to be bright enough to shoot without using a flash. And you'll be better off if you have one stronger than the built in flash. Trying to shoot ambient light only, a typical gym will give you about 1/60 at best for iso 1000, and that's at the 2.8 f-stop. So you'll need to use a flash, and get as close to the court as you can.

Dede, I shoot pics of our High School band at the games and I have found this to work best. Night lighting: I use a Canon 10D digital which allows me to shoot at a ISO of 3200. I use a 2.8 70-200 lens with a aperture priority setting of f2.8. This fixes the f-stop at 2.8 all the time and the camera chooses the shutter speed. Depending on the subject my shutter speed ranges between 125 and 250 which produces sharp images. I have tried lower ISO settings and have had too slow of shutter speeds and got blurry pics. Always use highest ISO and fastest f-stop. If your shutter speed is to slow to produce sharp images then you will have to use a flash. By the way when using high ISO speeds you will have noise in your pics. I remove the noise with a program called Neat Image. Good luck!
