I understand that it’s pre season but what the heck is this 4a ranking!?!?Whoever made the rankings please explain to yourself why semiahmoo is going down at 7 when all of them were in gr.11 who won it this year are coming back next year and somehow Sullivan heights walnut grove and Elgin park are better than top teams like Claremont,heritage woods and holy cross this is why bc basketball is a joke it’s a shame what they do and it kills me knowing that some of them want to take their talents to the big leagues one day.

Not sure why Semi is 7th, my guess would be that some players might be moving and people doing the rankings are aware of it. Elgin Park is underrated for sure and I would put Lord Tweedsmuir instead of Sullivan but it’s very close in that region and Sullivan will be good too. Holy Cross is not that good, lost a lot of the main players they had and the incoming junior group didn’t make surrey playoffs. Always a lot of player movement but these are just preseason rankings and lots will change by season time.

Semi is losing Torian Lee to prep school and possibly Cole Bekkering too.
Pre-season rankings are NOT why BC Basketball is a joke.
Having newly constructed high schools with state of the art indoor gym spaces that then have restricted access to the very families paying the taxes funding these spaces because of scheduling and red tape is a more apt example of comedy in BC.

CORRECTION: Semiahmoo's 2022-23 Senior Boys Basketball Team had Wyatt Brown, Riccardo Cervetti, Markus Alstad-Jones, Joban Dhillon, Marcus Flores (a member of the 2022-23 4A Provincial Second All-Star Team) and Maddox Budiman as Grade 12's. |

Who the fuck make these rankings for all four boys basketball tiers? And how is a team ranked exactly besides the obvious being the team’s junior counterpart performance?

Interesting the an unranked team Lord Tweedsmuir
has suddenly taken over 9th spot pushing out Kelowna Owls. This team was not even in the honorable mentions as far back as March. Is there some thing outstanding that made them jump from obscurity to ranking before they even play a game?

Spring/fall league and player movement? I know Tweedsmuir was in Fox spring league and Tammy fall league. Won most if not all of their games and return all 5 starters from last years team so probably should’ve been ranked from the start.

I still have a problem understanding how Basketball BC rankings would have anything to do with the results of some local rec ball league. Who is watching these games from Basketball BC and determining that such and such team has done enough or had enough competition to merit moving up. Also the movement of players has nothing to do with how a team will play its about how they gel as a team not how it looks on paper before any game is played. Finally many teams have returning 5 but have not moved up it means very little what does mean something is who are the grade 11 players that have moved up but again its actual games that should move the needle not someones suppositions before the first games are played. Please note the the rankings have not changed on Tamura's site Varsity Letters. My point here is that unless there is a standard for these rankings then they become utter nonsense.

Is anyone else getting tired or annoyed with the teams playing down just to win championships? It's frustrating seeing lower tiered teams consistently beating AAAA teams. Too bad you can't force teams to play up.

I mean teams who are way better than their tier. If a team is a dominate AA or AAA, they should play up. Why stay in your tier to win BC's by 30+ a game?? |

They were power ranking non-sense model before when Tsumura did them. Who played well one week seemed to jump people to top. Now some guy who has had zero to do with high school basketball for decades is doing rankings for 4a and 2a. Not that rankings mean anything especially early season ones. Basketball BC has nothing to do with rankings. |

Because those teams have a lower school population, they may not be able to field competitive teams in the higher divisions consistently, and you have to commit to a tier for at least 3 seasons at a time I believe. Look at Holy Cross, they have played up in 4A for years, and props to them, but they don't have any titles to show for it. Whereas if they stayed at a lower tier, they likely have a banner or two by now with some of the great teams they have fielded in the past decade. |

Well it's about ranking. I was led to believe that the rankings on this site are what is used to decide seeding for The Provincial playoffs. I am agast at the current rankings when Kelowna has won every local game by large margin which never seems to be taken into account.when the team has defeated or come very close to defeating every team in the mid pack and we get shuttles into 9 th. I guess it would make some teams very happy to have us out at the very start with a 1-9 matchup or something like that. I have thought about the reply that the trams should be responsible for reporting but if have a zone rep that has a schedule them a once a week call for results is all it would take. Yes some responsibility is on the teams to check but that should only be of there are gross errors. BC basketball metrics seems to have aich better handle on results and does not seem to have any bias in their program. Correct me if I am off base but when you take into account local pick up leagues onto your figures and don't look at our out of province games during the season them something is wrong.
