[quote=Anonymous]People in this thread have referred a couple of times to “elite” teams.  One thing that surprised me a bit as a basketball parent was how team levels work, at least at the HS level.

I’m familiar with three AAU teams at different levels.

Team 1 played in the Force One upper division for HS and won their division at 15U.  They played in the “steel” division of big Hoop Group tournaments (levels were steel, bronze, silver, gold, platinum).

Team 2  played in “platinum” division of those tournaments, and if they ever played Team 1 in a local tournament, Team 2 blew out Team 1.

Team 3 was a “b” team for an org with an EYBL top team.  Team 3 also played the top division of big open tournaments plus some events against EYBL level competition.  Team 3 3 blew out Team 2 when they met and they never played Team 1 because they didn’t play in the same events or divisions.

I’d consider Team 3 semi-elite - they couldn’t usually beat an EYBL team, but they weren’t usually blown out.  They were many, many levels above Team 1 that won the Force One league title.  I think it’s good to take all of the talk about “elite” teams with a grain of salt. [/quote]
