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

In NFHS basketball rules, teams do not change baskets for each extra period, meaning that they continue to play at the same basket they used in regulation. This is important because it maintains the same conditions for both teams throughout the game, especially during overtime when fatigue and strategies are in play. By keeping the same basket, it helps to ensure consistency and fairness in play, as players will be familiar with shooting from and defending the same ends of the court.

The concept of changing baskets is applicable in certain other basketball rule sets, but for NFHS play, it is standardized to avoid confusion. The only time teams change baskets is at halftime, which is a standard practice to ensure equal opportunity across the full game duration, but this does not apply to overtime periods. Thus, the correct understanding is that teams remain at the same basket for every extra period played.
