I think the main issue in HS (which includes JV and Freshman) is that you have many scorekeepers and likely many officials that just will not get it right. You'll have some number of officials that will put the 10's number on their left hand because that is how they see it. Sometimes, you'll have scorekeepers that are barely paying attention since it is someone they could talk into doing the lower level game. I'm not against 2-hand reporting at the levels where everyone is going to be up to speed but doing it across the board is just going to create situations that can be avoided.
