If your scorekeeper is a home-team mom, then someone you have in an official capacity (essentially, someone who's supposed to be impartial) should not be in position to act only in one team's favor. Since I find it extremely unlikely that a home-team-mom scorekeeper would yell over to the visitor's team to alert them to a chance to get an out, it's not fair for them to be able to do so for the home team either. In fact, they are in a position to stop the BOO for the home team before a penalty is the result, if they are allowed to pipe up whenever they want. Neither situation is fair.

They are an official. They must remain impartial.
