Don't forget what it says near the front of the NFHS Rulesbook: "The restrictions which the rules place upon the players are intended to create a balance of play; to provide equal opportunity between the offense and the defense;..."

At the HS level the defense should have just as much of a chance of success as the offense. That is not the case at the NBA level and now even in the college game. Those levels set up rules to favor the offense in the belief that more scoring attracts fans and viewership which makes money.
