First, I really don't care which set of rules are used at the HS level. Just let me know the rules you want used and I will enforce them evenly to the best of my ability.

That being said, the only people (unless you include rec/summer ball) moving between rule sets are officials. I like others have seen officials kick a rule application because they were thinking one set and working a game govern by another set. Who's fault is that? It is certainly NOT the rules committee or governing boby...it is the official's. It will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get anyone to change their rule set just for the sake of change. If the official cannot keep his rules/mechanics straight then he or she is not as good as they thought and should give up one of the levels.

I really do not see how using the NCAA rules in high school makes the high school game better. If it doesn't make the game better, why change? Given the small percentage of officials that are constantly moving back and forth, it seems silly to make the changes simply to make their life easier.
