Not really. You could easily have one set of rules with a few parameters to be applied at different levels....different lengths of time for quarters/halves and the shot clock, different court dimensions, etc.
There is no good reason for the definitions to be different, the penalties for infractions to be different, or the protocols to be different. Of course you can dispense with elements of the protocols as the level dictates (we already do that with NFHS rules for some types of games anyway).

More like the Men vs. Women in the NCAA....neither one is going to want to cede any amount of control to the other. Likewise for HS using NCAA rules.
Again, it wouldn't be hard to have one set of rules for game play and an appendix to cover the very few things that need to be different (diminsions, timing, POE).
