Prep basketball is absolutely not glorified all-star basketball. Please take an opportunity to watch the EYBL scholastic league.
The reason why teams could face-guard Mullins all game in Indiana is because the competition sucked. His team without him is the level of a decent CIAC team.

Really the only issue here is that we foul too much, and...
