I must be honest and say that I have never photographed a basketball match, either pro or am , and so the protocols may well allow flash. I would be astonished if they did from the touchline or whatever line it's called in basketball. Slaved flash going off from above or bounced may well present less of a distraction to players - after all, fans sit in the stands flashing left, right and centre - so they have to cope with that. But direct flash at eye level on the playing floor would be a definite no-no in my book......
