Barry,
Eight or nine years ago there was an advertisement or article in a magazine
that described this very thing. With Olympus cameras no less! The
photographer was George Kalinski. Kalinski's cameras were mounted to Hydra
Rib goals which have very well dampened support systems(and collapse slowly
to prevent players or photographers! from being injured). I'll see if I can
find the information. The problem I have shooting in my gyms is the no flash
rule. My base exposure with Fuji Press 800 pushed one stop is 1/125 @ F2.8.
Good Luck.
