I have been asked to conduct a 45-minute training session for intramural basketball officials (for college intramurals). The session can be conducted on the court, in a classroom or a combination of the two (though the time limit suggests that a combination might not be best - wasted time in transition). Although I sometimes lead out in our local association rules meetings, I have never "trained" officials before.
The trainees will all be college students. I expect these budding officials primarily to be ball players, "mostly" familiar with basic rules, but likely with not extensive rules knowledge.
In a limited amount of time, any suggestions as to what kinds of things I ought/ought not to cover/emphasize? Or does anyone know a good resource for this kind of training?
