OSAAtoday is thrilled to present its preseason statewide Boys Basketball Coaches Polls in all classifications for the 2022-2023 winter season. Thanks to all 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.
