Should teams change baskets for each extra period played in a game?

In basketball games governed by NFHS rules, teams do not change baskets for each extra period played. This rule is designed to maintain consistency in gameplay and minimize any potential advantage or disadvantage that could arise from switching baskets. The reasoning behind this is that teams have already established familiarity with their respective baskets during regulation play, which includes adjustments to shooting angles, depth perception, and other gameplay elements.

Retaining the same basket throughout extra periods ensures that both teams have equal opportunity to defend and score at the same end they have used during the regulation time. The decision to keep the same basket is in line with the overall objective of ensuring fairness and competitive balance throughout the game, regardless of whether it is during regulation or in overtime situations.

Other ideas, such as changing baskets or only allowing such changes based on agreement from the home team or specific conditions, do not align with NFHS regulations, which are aimed at standardizing rules to create a uniform experience in high school basketball games.
