Basically NCAA Men's and the NFHS mechanics are the same. The are some differences between the NCAA Men's and Women's mechanic, most of which deal with areas of responsibility between the lead and trail. On the women's side (which is closer to the NBA mechanic), the lead is responsible for the ball when it is foul line extended or below and on the strong side. The lead even signals the three point shot. Actually the lead responsibilities in the NCAA women's mechanic is very similar to the lead's responsibilities in a 2-person crew.
As far as why philosophically the NBA and NCAA women's mechanic is that way, my feeling is that they think the lead has a better look at a play right in front of him/her than the trail does (as he/she may have to look through some players to see the ball).
hope this helps some,
