I've done some outdoor sports photography (football, soccer, baseball, etc.). I have Canon's 70-200 2.8L IS lens that is fantastic for that.
I've recently been trying to shoot indoor sports -- specifically basketball and volleyball. The 70-200 is a little long for that, so I rented a 24-70 2.8L. I found that when using the 24-70, I was always wanting just a little more, and when using the 70-200 I was always wanting a little less.
It seems like a 40-120 or so would be just about perfect. It also has to be a fast lens -- f2.8 is as slow as I could possibly go. With the lenses I played with at f2.8, I still needed to go to 1600ISO to get shutter speeds down to 1/200 or faster.
So my question is... what lenses are you all using at indoor "court" games?

I've done basketball, wrestling, and volleyball indoors with the Canon 50mm F/1.8, the Tamron 28-75 F/2.8, and once borrowed a Canon 85mm F/1.8.
The university photog I work with uses the 24-70 F/2.8, 70-200 F/2.8 IS, and 300mm IS, in some combination on two bodies.
