Until the early 1990's the visiting team for both NFHS and NCAA rules choice which basket it would shoot at for the first half, and the NBA/WNBA rules just reflect this long time rule. But Moose's comments for the NFHS/NCAA change is correct. And for something competely different, under FIBA rules, the home team decides which basket the teams will shoot at in the first half as well as its bench for the entire game. Under NFHS/NCAA and NBA/WNBA rules, game management determines the team benches.
