Yeah -- foul counts are probably the hardest. Everything is easy if there is a good clock / table -- you just check to make sure that they change the arrow / put the foul up, etc.
You've GOT to check the clock every time it starts and stops -- just something you have to learn to do. I watched a college game this year where the shot clock was reset to "42" seconds (the table was attempting to put up who was fouled, but put it on the shot clock instead!). No one on the crew noticed, but just before the ball was put in the table reset the shot clock to 35. Of course, they were none the wiser.
As a side note, this is the same school where the table always runs down the shot clock if they accidentally reset it. One of the times I was there they had to run it down to 2 seconds because they reset. Apparently they are too stupid to figure out how they can actually *set* the clock, which they obviously can do, since they set it to "42" in this other game!
