????? So they miss 7 foot open baseline shots the rest of the game? Or they could take all the open threes they want....long shot = long rebound so they should get several attempts each trip. I find this flabbergasting and have never heard of such a rule. What age are these girls?

I would presume that if the lead got back down below 15, the defense would be freed from the key.

I think that's what he said. I was just shocked when he said that no one ever closed to within the mercy rule margin again. Have to play some pretty bad D and miss a whole lot of shots for that to happen.
