Any ideas why the differences?
In high school, they play 32 minutes divided into 4 quarters. In college, it's 40 minutes divided into 2 halves.
In high school, the three point line is 19'9". It's different in college.
In high school, a non-contact technical foul is punished by two shots and the ball. In college, it's POI.
In high school, the basket does not count if an airborne shooter commits a foul after releasing the shot. In college, it counts.
In high school, the shot clock is a state issue. In college, it is mandatory.
In high school, the coach has to sit after he or his bench get a technical foul. In college, that's not the case.

Why? Different people are in charge.
