Each year, USA Today, an American newspaper, awards outstanding high school basketball players with a place on its male and female All-USA high school basketball teams. The newspaper names athletes whom it believes to be the best basketball players from high schools around the United States. In addition, one member of each team is named, respectively, the male or female USA Today High School Basketball Player of the Year. The newspaper names two teams, one for male athletes and one for female athletes. The newspaper has named a team every year since 1983. Each year, the newspaper also selects a USA Today High School Boys' Basketball Coach of the Year and a USA Today High School Girls' Basketball Coach of the Year.On the following webpage, scroll down to "Boys' basketball archives" (for links to "All-USA Team", "Super 25" teams, and "Regional rankings"; 1997–present): On the following webpage, scroll down to "Girls' basketball archives" (for links to "All-USA Team", "Super 25" teams, and "Regional rankings"; 1997–present):
