Yes, I prefer to shoot indoor sports with MF, especially fast sports in low light conditions. More geenrally, MF is the only way to get good shorts in low light conditions IMHO.
With VB, I typically guesstimate right the focus distance and set the focus ring accordingly. Then I gently adjust around that distance. It is easy when the court size is well-knwon (9m by 9 m in VB) and I can stand next to the sidelines.
I may add that, In very dark conditions, my K-7 camera AF is simply unable to converge and MF is the way to go. When I shoot a lot of dynamic motion, AF.C is not always good enough and again MF is the answer
with a MF lens and an accurate MF focus ring.
Hope that the comment may help.
