One has nothing to do with the other. As long as both teams are playing by the same rules, they both have the same chance to win.

Would identical rules for all be ideal? Perhaps, but maybe not. NFHS has different priorities than the NBA. Hell, baseball doesn't even have the same rules across the board, neither does football. And with basketball, you also add in FIBA just for fun.

And we haven't even discussed the fact that rec leagues will differ on which adaptations they add (running clocks, no press, no free throws, move the FT shooters up, one T is ejection, etc.) to support their different priorities and philosophies.
