In high school you're younger, weaker and lighter. Also, the coach is trying to toughen you up. Not saying they're always wise about when to send you to the bench, but it's nothing like the pros.

Once you get into the pros, those guys are monsters, fighters with a lot more to lose. And of course they're literally financial investments.
