I think that you should give your girl friend an ultimatum: either she comes over from the Dark Side and become a practicing basketball official or at least become a basketball official because as my very successful high school coach (who was also a OhioHSAA registered basketball official), if you do not know the rules you cannot teach the sport to the players.
Coaches need not become officials to know the rules. but they should dedicate the time they spend on skills and drills and offenses and defenses to learning the rules and how the game is officiated.
