Don't worry. most of the three pages was on a different subject anyway - when a PT is required to begin with.

My question is, what if it is a parellel entry, in which case you'll intercept the inbound course before crossing the VOR. Then are you expected to take another full turn or proceed inbound from that point? Or, a teardrop for that matter. After the entry, you are on the inbound course. Do you have to ever make a full turn throught the hold if you intercept the inbound course before crosing the VOR.

The second controller and your Chief Instructor were right. All the hold in lieu requires is an entry to the hold and getting established on the inbound leg. All the teardrop and racetrack are are course reversals with a different set up for the protected airsapce. The type of entry doesn't matter, none of them are mandatory anyway.
But...

I'm not sure what you mean by this. All of the entries involve flying to the navaid, making an entry that sets you up outbound and then intercepting the inbound course before getting back to the navaid the second time. It may be that my answer misunderstood your question.
