How are all-district, all-metro and all-state teams chosen?

I am not sure about all state picks but I do know that all conference or in this case all district picks pretty much work out like this, depending on how you finished in your district you get to select so many 1st teamers, 2nd teamers, etc and the coach from each school chooses who they want

Here's what I thought, along your same lines for district:

It is my understanding that All-District team players are "put up" in order by their coaches based on how many wins they had in their district. Example: Every team gets 2 on the 1st team, and 2 on the 2nd team. For every win in district play you get 1 more. A team can only have 15 total players represented. So, if you go 5-0 in your district, you get 7 1st team and 7 2nd team and 1 HM, and the coach picks who those are.

I have no idea how All-Metro players are chosen. Can anyone comment?

I also understand that All-State players are sent in by their coaches. Is there a certain number here that they nominate as well based on wins, like they do for the All-District players? I know the coaches nominate, but is there a certain number they have to stick to? Then once it gets to the state, is it a vote?

I'm surprised that this isn't outlined somewhere on the IHSAA.

It's not on the IHSAA website, because they have no control over how individual districts select their all-district teams. There is no set format, just whatever the coaches on that district agree on every two years.

As for All-State and all-area teams, those are compiled by small groups of sportswriters, based off stats and some coach input.

Are they published anywhere?

Every two years the coaches of the district decide how they are decided at a meeting that is usually had soon after the districts are released. Most of the time for "All district" you get 2 spots plus one additional spot for every district game that you win, of course it is also depending on how many teams are in the district, then for honorable mentioned it is usually just that every team gets 4 spots.
