Top Tier vs Botton Tier Players

So far this season, I've had the luxury of watching both boys and girls high school and college ball games. And for the most part, I've noticed that the gap in play appears to be widening between the top tier and bottom tier players.

For the most part, I realize that not every player who plays the game has the tools or desire to become a top tier player. However with all due respect to both tiers there is still an increase need for bottom tier players to work even harder so that the gap doesn't widen and they have no significance to the team.

In conclusion, top tier players must understand the they are expected to lead by example and carry the team in a variety of areas throughout the season. And bottom tier players are expected to support the needs of the team through specific roles that they are asked to perform by their coaches with a degree of excellence.
