I'm in a fairly similar situation as the supervisor for a local church league. What I have found works for me is to take kind of a middle road between camp clinician and assigner. I talk to my officials a lot during games. But I do it at breaks (half time, time outs, etc.). I will not even react to a missed call or blown rule, let alone step onto the floor to get in the middle of it. However, during a break, when we can talk amongst ourselves, I will ask that official what he/she saw on that play or what the rule is and teach from there. So far this has been well received. You may want to think about that kind of approach. You may need to adapt it however as I would imagine that IM refs and players might react a little more negatively to it.
