If you're doing 2 games in 100 degree weather, you will sweat more and you may need to go with sports drinks to replenish your body.

As I runner, I'm constantly drinking water but when I umpire I gauge my beverage choice on the weather, how well I feel I'm hydrated, and how long I expect to be out doing that activity. Sometimes I drink sports drinks, sometimes I drink water. I usually have a good feel of what I need to drink.

Edit: Dang, I really thought I was reading the baseball forum; hence I was talking about weather. I mainly decide what I drink on the temperature/humidity of the gym, how well I'm hydrated, and how many games I'm doing.

I'll add that weather can be a factor for hoops, too. More accurately, gym temperature; which is often dependent upon the season.
