OSAAtoday presents its first in-season statewide Boys Basketball Coaches Polls for the 2022-2023 season in all classifications. Thanks to all of the coaches who took the time and had the expertise to contribute their opinions to this endeavor.
Look for the polls every Tuesday during the winter season.
Please note: these polls are for generating interest and discussion only and have no impact on the OSAA’s RPI and Colley ratings that form the basis of the OSAA’s rankings for playoff purposes.
If there are any varsity boys basketball head coaches who would like to vote in the coaches polls going forward, but did not receive notice to vote in this one, please email johnt@osaa.org.
