I've been looking at my basketball pics from the past year, and they look like CRAP. Almost every one is noisy and blurry. The lighting is always bad, but what can I do both while taking the pics and in editing to better them?

I find basketball the most difficult sport to shoot well, mostly because of the poor lighting. Your shutter speed needs to be a minimum of 1/200, and faster if possible, to eliminate motion blur. Try using your widest (lowest number) aperture and your highest ISO setting; and you'll probably need to use a noise reduction program, like Neat Image, to clean them up in editing. If there is enough light to allow lowering the ISO without going below about 1/200 or 1/250, you'll get cleaner pictures that way.
