I actually had this happen to me once in California.

I had a bunch of "chats" with her telling her she wasn't allowed to cheer or question my calls since she was an official of the game. She disagreed but stopped for the rest of the way. I did tell her I could replace her and I believe her reply was "no you can't". Gee I miss that place...

This usually happens when the scorer is the wife of the coach of the home team!

Was doing the clock in a GV game about 3 years ago when this scenario happened. Scorer was the wife of the home coach. Foul was called and when the official reported it to the table, the scorer folded her arms across her chest and refused to record it because she disagreed with the call. Official told her she had to record it and if she continued with the comments, she would be replaced. She replied, "That wasn't a foul, and do you know who I am?" Official replied, "Yes I do, you are the lady that is going to watch the rest of the game from the hall way. Take a hike". Scorer looks at her husband and asks if he is going to do anything about this. He told her the only he was going to do is try to win the game. Would not have wanted to be in their house later on.
