Thanks in advance.

It may be too advanced for your group of parent officials, but have you seen the list of Most Misunderstood Basketball Rules that I've posted a couple of times each year on this Forum? The list contains contributions from many Forum members. It's too long to post in a Private Message, I know that Forum members don't want to see the entire list again, and I want to be a "good citizen of the community". If you haven't seen it, then use the Advanced Search function, search for Most Misunderstood Basketball Rules, posted by BillyMac, on the Basketball Forum. Once you find the list, edit it to suit your group of parent officials. Good luck.
Better yet. Charge parents a few bucks to attend the game, sell some candy, popcorn, hot dogs, etc., and pay some local officials to work the games. I do Catholic elementary school games, six minute quarters, at $30.00 per game, per official. That's $60.00 per game for two offcials. If thirty parents show up to watch the game, at $2.00 per ticket, you break even.
