PAGMETER BOYS BASKETBALL DIVISION RANKINGS 2023-202
BASKETBALL NOTES
A proposal was passed that each Division will have 16 team brackets. (D1-D6)
Let’s pray that it’s not like the football brackets because it was a COMPLETE DISASTER!
In football, Buchanan, Edison, Bullard and Memorial all had down years and didn’t qualify for the postseason Division 1 tournament so instead of using common sense and just leaving D1 with 12 teams, the committee filled up the Division 1 bracket with four Division 2 teams that had no business being in D1.
What happens from there, that means D2 was filled with D3 teams that should not be in D2, and D3 teams was filled with D4… and at the end of the day, the little Division 6 teams get screwed because plenty of Division 5 teams come down and dominate D6. Without common sense, it will either be a trickle up and trickle down with this playoff system.
I love the idea of having 16 teams in every bracket if there are 16 teams that make sense, BUT you must use COMMON SENSE!
To the COMMITTEE, please use common sense in basketball.
THE MEANING OF EQUITY
Do you know what EQUITY means when you hear it with High School sports?
It means if you are a large school and you’re having a down year for whatever reason, don’t worry because we got you covered, we will put you in with small overachieving schools that are having good years so you can ruin their year. When you hear the word EQUITY, somebody will be getting screwed!
WE NEED A BOYS BASKETBALL COMMITTEE
Someday I pray for all the playoff decisions we have a basketball only committee that sits down and figures out where teams should be.
It should be a committee from all over the Central Section that knows BASKETBALL that uses common sense-head to head-strength of schedule-and computer.
Whatever the basketball committee comes up with, it is then given to the CIF and they announce the teams and the playoffs. The CIF has way too much on their plate to figure out every individual sports playoffs.
Let a committee for every sport do all the work on what that sport needs. DUH!
SMALL SCHOOLS BE SMART
Note to the small schools, If you win plenty of games early, you really lose in the long run because you will move up from your based division and will have to play teams much larger than you and eventually will go down. Sorry to break the news to you but it’s 100% true.
Sometimes when you win, you actually lose in the long run and sometimes when you lose you actually get a better seed that fits your team. Unfortunately this playoff format is better sometimes to lose so you don’t become the test-dummy and make money in the snack bar for the bigger school.
The playoff format is made for the larger underachieving schools and the small overachieving schools will always get penalized if they have to move up and play the bigger teams. I simply don’t get how the Committee who put this playoff format together doesn’t see it??
Example and stay with me on this because it does get complicated, I’ve seen it now for 3 plus years in every sport. Teams are getting very creative.
Let’s say you are based in DIVISION 4 and seeded No 16 in D4.
Hmmmm, let’s see, lose the last few games and just like that you are a top seed in DIVISION 5.
The No 16 seed means on the bus to get your ass kicked by a Top seeded underachieving team from D3 playing in D4 team or lose some games at the right time, and you become a Top seeded team with home games in D5 and a snack bar $$$$. It’s a no-brainer.
This is what the playoff/postseason tournament format gives you. In football plenty of teams play the young players when they really don’t care to win a game. Wink-Wink
WE NEED A DIVISION 7
If we are going to have this silly unfair playoff format, for the love of god can we have a DIVISION 7 bracket for just the REAL SMALL schools? Someday we will.
Right now, too many larger D5 schools come down into D6 and take over. What incentive does the small schools have knowing before the year starts that they have zero chance with this playoff format?
What happens to the small school star player? The family says no thanks and transfers out.
Make a Division 7 bracket for the real small schools and we shouldn’t care if there are only let’s say 6-10 teams that qualify, it should then be a 6-10 team bracket for the SMALL schools only because you will never EVER see a small school team win a championship again with this playoff format. The real small schools have to play in leagues already over their head and guess what, their overall record will not be good.
The Central Section keeps growing with more schools and the small schools are being left out or they have to move up and play the bigger schools. It’s time for a small school league.
Right now there are 24 based teams in division 6 plus plenty of division 5 teams will come into division 6 as you know because some division 5 teams are having down years.
What the CIF is really saying is, we really don’t give a hoot about division 6 and the small schools so let’s overcrowd division 6 because a division 5 team is going to win the division anyway.
We need to make teams want to win every game again and not have to lose to gain ground in the division. Wink Wink.
PAGMETER PLAYOFF IDEA
If we had a division 7, that would help and whatever you’re based in, you stay in your base division. DUH. We should base teams after the 30 day transfer rule and when grades come out because some teams are completely different after the 30 day sit out period.
Once you are based in the division that the basketball committee thinks you should be in then you stay in that based division for the rest of the year. Each team can have the option to move up a division but NEVER move down. This idea is that teams will want to win games for a higher seed/playoff game and instead of losing on purpose to move to the right division and where they belong in the first place.
If you have a down year then your season ends with no playoffs. DUH
DIVISION 1 NOTES,
There are 12 based teams in Division 1 and that means plenty of D2 teams will be entering into D1.
PAGMETER PLAYOFF IDEA
With 12 teams in D1, there should be 12 teams in D1 and if some of the D1 teams don’t qualify for the postseason tournament then you only have what’s left in D1 and some teams will get byes. PLEASE DON’T BRING UP DIVISION 2 TEAMS THAT DON’T BELONG IN D1. DUH
ST JOSEPH SHOULD BE THE SLAM DUNK No 1 TEAM AND IT’S NOT CLOSE

Division 4
Division 4 was one of the worst seeding brackets maybe ever and a complete mess.
The Corcoran Panthers were battling for a No 1 seed all year long and in the worst case scenario the Panthers could have gotten the No 2 seed but apparently Corcoran must have pissed somebody off in the CIF office because they got an No 11 seed. Wait…what?? The Panthers are 26-2!!!
Santa Ynez is 12-18 and got the No 2 seed.
Coalinga is 24-5 and should be in D4 but they are loving it by getting the No 1 seed in D5. The Toads beat Monache who is in the Semifinals in D4. You can’t make this stuff up.
Kerman beat McFarland in the Quarterfinals with the worst call since the Torres-Shafter call in football.
.2 seconds to go and really can’t do anything but maybe a quick perfect tip.The Lions inbound the ball but the clock doesn’t start until the shot goes off the glass. This game should have gone to OT at 62-62 but instead the Refs blew the call and the Lions won 64-62. Simply horrible. The film doesn’t lie.
