Molded Mouth Protectors ...
Molded mouth protectors could be those that one self prepares by heating it up in boiling water before molding it to one's teeth.
I actually wore one of those in high school.
Is it possible that the NFHS doesn't want players wearing "sized" mouth protectors right off the shelf and out of the box?
I am not aware of any state associations that mandate that high school basketball players wear mouthguards.

A tooth and mouth protector (intraoral), if worn must:

c. cover the posterior teeth with adequate thickness;
It is recommended that the protector be properly fitted, protecting the anterior (leading) dental arch and:
d. constructed from a model made from an impression of the individual's teeth; or constructed and fitted to the individual by impressing the teeth into the tooth and mouth protector itself.
State associations may deem a tooth and mouth protector required equipment.
