That said, I think the best response would be to simply write them a letter:

Dear sirs,
We have received your request that we only send male officials to your boys basketball contests. After discussing it with our attorneys, we have come to the conclusion that it is simply not a lawful request so we must respectfully decline your request.

Sincerely,

Not bad letter Adam...
I think it would be best for the association to talk to lawyer before acting. Better to get some guidance now than have to clean up huge mess later. Example: school person who thought it was ok to say "no women" through "back channel." Bad idea...big mess....
