The 15-pt no press rule is often used in kids' tournaments. I guess this league decided to use it for MS games, too. There's really no penalty -- we're just expected to tell the defense to fall back to half court once a rebound is secured. If a steal takes place we blow it dead and give it back to the offense.
I can live with a no-press rule. It's the "no zone" rule (in kid's tournaments) I hate.
Nearly impossible to watch for and enforce while watching the play too. And coaches go nuts if they see a defender not closing guarding his man, even if his man is OB.
