I'm just looking for a simplified version of the rules, preferably typed out, and maybe several pages long (if such a rule set exists!) - I have the simplified and illustrated, but I don't think I'd be allowed to make copies and hand them out!

You can buy the "Simplified and Illustrated" books and give them out. You can even buy slides with the information that is in the books.
There is no substitute for studying the rules or just reading specific rules to learn them. The "Simplified and Illustrated Rulebook" will show pictures that help illustrate what the rule says or how it showed be interpreted. I really do not know how you could simplify a rule like travelling without knowing what a pivot foot is and when it is established. There are no shortcuts to understanding this. Because most people think travelling happens when it looks funny. Basketball rules are not that hard to understand.
