Nice shot.  I'd try to brighten it up a bit.

My son also plays in a poorly-lit gym with grey walls.  I took a
different approach.  I put the K20 at ISO 1600, strapped on the Sigma
30mm f1.4, and plunked my butt down on the floor at one end.  The DoF
on that lens is a joke, so I didn't try to get fancy, just got a good
manual-focus on the area under the basket, tried to keep the shutter
speed upwards of 1/100, and held down the "fire" button for a few
scrambles.  Some of them came out OK, for example

The Lightroom slide-show is at http://www.tbray.org/rbl/2009-11-27/ -
the blur you get at 1/100 is actually nice in some of these.
