One MS league that I work has a "no press" rule that applies until 4th quarter and no press rule whenever the lead is greater than 15 points during the 4th quarter.
"Violaters" are given a verbal warning... "No Press!"
I have not had any player/team push it beyond the verbal warning, most often it has been that the player/team was unaware of situation.
If the leading team (by more than 15 points in the fourth or prior to the fourth quarter) continued to press after they had been given a clear warning, I would not hesitate to administer a "T" for unsporting acts and continue to assess them until the situation was resolved.
