Back Focus and Basketball

Here's a tip for all you camera guys who work underneath a basket for basketball games like I do. It's all about your back focus. After I white balance (usually on the white top of a Gatorade container at the end of each bench) I'll assume my position underneath the basket and do a full push in across the floor to the basket at the other end. I'll then focus and pull out completely to set my back focus. Once I do this most anything I shoot will be in focus no matter how far I zoom in or out after that. It really works well and takes the worry out of continually having to worry about my focus.
