Same thing can be said of any sporting event/concert, no one really sees the whole thing due to some sort of distraction.
By not having the points posted, would make the fans have to put more attention into what's happening on the court.

I believe the vast majority of fans that PAID money to go to a game are paying attention the vast majority of the game. I don't even know where you get the idea that fans aren't paying attention to most of the game. And you know what...even if they aren't paying attention, whom does that hurt? What about the players and coaches who need to know the score? And how knowing the score without having to ask the scorer helps officials?
If you don't keep the score showing, you're just making a less fan friendly atmosphere. And instead of allegedly not having fans pay attention (by your assertion which I think is silly), you might just have fans not decide to go.
