I just took a class on sports photography because I was doing lots of basketball and not getting good results. I ended up buying the 70-200. I also had the 50mm -- which worked great for basketball at certain places on the court -- but I missed the zoom. I was able to find the Nikon 70-200 for about $500 under the retail price by buying used. So -- you may want to keep your eyes open on Craigslist, Ebay or even a local camera shop (where I found mine ) for the occassional used 70-200.
