We have come back from 17 down and 19 down in a matter of 8 minutes. In the game where we were 17 down, opponent pulled their press with 8 to play and we went on a 20-2 run. Who is to say what lead is the "too big" and thus justify calling off the press by rule.
In rec leagues, where you have kids who aren't really basketball players trying to play basketball, I can see the point of rules regarding presses and when to pull out of them. At any other level, you are playing a competitive game with the end object being to win - gotta let teams play the way they believe they need to play.
