I would never make that request. I might make the request to a GM person about those interfering, but I would not say flat out to remove people. Having worked in some very tight gyms in my career, usually you make accomidations to either move players or fans when approrpiate for a throw in or you stay on the court as an official. And unless a fan directly interferes, I would leave this alone. Just adjust.

Peace
