Me and my best friend are the best players on our HS Girls Basketball team and we are use to just playing with each other. How can we learn to play with the rest of the girls on our team, who aren't that skilled, and be better leaders. Especially when we don't have good leadership coming from our coach.

"Just remember that the best player is not the most skilled but one who makes the rest of the team better."
So basically teach the other players, trust them and let them make the plays. For example Steve Nash is the MVP but I think everyone will agree with me when I say that he is not the most skilled player in the NBA, I have yet to see him dunk, but hes the MVP mainly because he has the most ASSISTS with a high percentage from the field and puts up high numbers every game (not as high as Kobe, Lebron or Iverson). So basically teach the other players to make them better (and you may learn something as well), trust them and let them make the plays.
If you notice the Lakers are trying to make Kobe follow that quote. I think that most people see him as a ball hog and his coach is trying to change that. They made him sit out during one of the playoff games and it was to make him trust his team, let them make the plays and let Kobe see that his team is better than he thinks (he didn't sit out the entire game but he didn't get descent play time). They can't make him help the other players though, that's up to him. All you have to do is make the other players around you better that's when you become a better team and a better player yourself.

Lead by example....get to practice early and leave late. Practice fundamentals and help others to learn the fundamentals. Work out on your own, outside of practice and invite others to join you in those workouts(good extra effort points). Always be polite to others, you may be better than they are today, but tomorrow they may be better than you...let them know that is a possibility so that they feel they can be part of the "best players club." Be respectful to your coaches and listen to what they have to say on and off the court...encourage the others to do the same. Shoot a few extra freethrows during practice if you have the opportunity. Good luck.

Jordan never won a championship until he learned to TRUST his teammates in crunch time situations. Steve Kerr, John Paxson, Craig Hodges were below average NBA players but made HUGE shots because Jordan and Coach Phil TRUSTED they would make it.
Also, I would assume your coaches do know something, you should look into trusting them.

You just have to believe that they will execute when you call on them. You can help them out by finding out what eveyone's strengths are. Then put them in situations were they can best use those strengths. For example, if you have someone who can't dribble very good but can pass, use them coming off screens to get them open and maybe pass it back to them if you can. If someone can't shoot, but can play nice defense, use them around the basket or have them play tight on someone and mabe they can create opportunities for those who can shoot. Everybody has one thing they are good at on the court, find out what it is and use it. Be creative.

Ask the girls would they like to play with you and your friend on your spare time. Teach them what you two know, help eachother, and trust one another. Most important be confidence.

let THEM bring it downcourt, then yell for the ball and shoot. Worked for me last year, but once the girl that I passed the ball to turned around and dribbled towards the other team's basket. Ugh...
