While I shoot Nikon, I am not familiar with the 7200. My preference is to shoot manual, open the lens aperture all the way, and raise the ISO as high as you can without introducing too much noise, which will rarely be high enough in a k – 12 gyms. In most gyms 6400 will be the minimum.
The lens used is equally important. Does it focus fast? Does it have a wide aperture (small number)? For example the 85mm 1.4 is one of Nikons best lenses but not necessarily one that focuses very fast.
For near court I use the pro zooms: 24-70 and 70-200 at f2.8 but I use full frame bodies.
I would start with the following and adjust from there.
Exposure mode – Manual ( Indoor lighting shouldn’t change but if one side of court is much darker, Aperture mode with lens opened all the way up might be preferred).
Metering Mode 3D Matrix
Shooting Mode – Ch continuous High
White Balance – I set a custom sometimes but lights can cycles so Auto usually works just as well
Autofocus mode – AF-C Dynamic
Attached is 1/500ss, 200 at f2, ISO 5000. The gym had a little better light than most. This was almost 10 years ago as I don't shoot K- 12 anymore.
