Shooting basketball, what metering mode?

[KrazyKevin]

Shot my first basketball game tonight. They started early because of the bad weather so I only saw the last 7min of the 4th quarter. I have a quick question before I go start editing some pics to post.
Metering mode, what do you use? I started out in matrix, and shot just a few center weighted. I can see pros and cons of both. Matrix would get you some faster shutter speed, but as in most of my pics, the players are underexposed sometimes. THen center or spot would be slower shutter but the players would probably look good. This sound about right? I'll post a few on here later tonight.

Thanks

Kevin

Manual. Take a shot of a ref or a home team player in white then check your histogram and make sure its far to the right.
