Photo mystery

Hello photographers! I just ran across this photo (via TrueHoop) and was wondering if anyone out there knows how it was made. My guess is a combination of an IR camera, IR spotlight, and a bit of digital darkroom colorization after the fact. How else would you get lighting like that during an actual game? Anyone?

Update: Thanks, gang. Looks like a remotely fired strobe light is the culprit. No IR shenanigans needed.
