Try operating the game clock sometime...

My father and I always had a bad habit of harping on the officials during games. (Part of the reason why I started officiating). Both of us (and my mom) agree that the only way to keep us quiet is to put us on the table doing something; be it the scorebook, clock, shotclock, etc. I've found it very valuable to work all the aspects of the table at some point. That way if you are working with an inexperienced table crew, you know how to help them out a little bit.
