We have A/B Middle School games and we play 6 minute quarters and regular NFHS rules.

I know some will disagree but I am convinced that back court pressing should be disallowed at this level. Very few of these teams (at least here in Nevada) can handle a press at the MS level. These teams have 12 to 16 kids on the bench and they all are rotated into the game. This puts many unskilled players on to the court at various times.

So what you end up with is a jump ball and hack fest in the back court, instead of a flow to the game.
