I started running the clock/book for "real" (i.e., non-camp) games when I was a wee lad. It's not that difficult, but it definitely takes a little time to get it down cold.

But my first scrimmage this year one college kid was doing book, clock, scoreboard and the shot clock. Granted he wasn't keeping individual fouls or scores, and it was a running clock, but I was still impressed at his ability to do all three jobs. Did a pretty good job of it too.
