While you may think you're being helpful, IMO you're being an annoyance by overstepping your duties. Let us do our job, and you do yours. If you're so concerned with everything else, step out on the floor and put on the stripes and a whistle. I would be more than happy to work a game with you.
I would love to be a floor official, however thanks to an incident last January I am unable to physically do the duties required.

The times I have assisted on situations like with the bobbie pins I have been thanked by the floor officials. These happenings are few & far between, on average maybe only once a season. Majority of the time for me, it's telling the scorer & visiting book that they need to be impartial or that they need to pay more attention to the game than talking to their friends.
