True. I know the guy that has been the “official photographer “ for an NBA team for years. He has his own strobes installed in the arena. Once you know what to look for you see constant flashes during the game. It’s not like looking straight at a flash going off, just enough to smooth the shadows.
I was the only photographer in our college conference who got permission to put up strobes in our arena. If the other team complained, I had to turn them off, but what I always did was emailed the coach the week before and offered a few shots in exchange for them letting me shoot with strobes on. Only one team ever had an issue with it and the rest really appreciated a few good shots they could use on their socials.
