Personally, I make sure that the timer and scorekeeper know what they're doing. I don't accept a "I have done this before" from them: I still pre-game with them certain things, such as notifying us when a player has 4 fouls, what signals stop and start the clock, to confirm the visual display with the book, how to handle the arrow, etc...
I soemtimes will remind them that if there is a timing error that needs fixing, then I will do so, if they're new.
I also check that the lineups and the rest of the scoresheet are completed properly. I do this at about 5 minutes before tip-off for tournament games, as the gyms are very busy with teams coming and going. 10 minutes for HS games. I usually assume that the timing device is working properly.
