Newbie Question About Color Balance Problem in D70s ?

I found a possible explanation for the color balance shift at Ken Rockwell's
website. In his article "How to Shoot Sports", he states that the rapid
flicker of flourescent or halide lights caused by their 60 hz power source
also causes flickering of color as well. Our eyes don't pick it up, but at
higher shutter speeds, the camera can and will sometimes produce white
balance changes from frame to frame. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks, I'll look into that. May have more questions as a result.

OP here -

Thanks for the thoughts. I probably should have mentioned that one of
the
most obvious cases of this shift in color occurred in a pair of
consecutive
shots taken not more than maybe a second apart with the same background.
I'd be happy to e-mail them to one of you for inspection if you think it
would be helpful. Is it likely that this is a problem with the camera?
(BTW, I shoot in a somewhat compressed mode for things like this, as
opposed
to raw.)

Then I'd guess you where using spot or center-weighted metering.
