When I worked IM games in college, they would have two days of training and thne the third day was a scrimmage between a bunch of the more experienced refs and one of the frat house teams. They would intruct us to foul and make it obvious during the first rotation of all the trainees and then the second time they came through slack up a little bit. The first time through gave them the experience of seeing a foul and reacting appropriately. The second time through was intended to get them to see the more subtle stuff like a push on the lower body on an airbourn shooter. We did the same with violations like FT violations, halfcourt, traveling, etc. The supervisors would stand next to the trainees and help point stuff out and stop play to point out specific cases/examples. This seemed to work well.

The were some nice bruises that I can remember from the fouls though.
