Again, it can depend on a person's experience & training.
Sure put in personnel that have only watched the games, more mistakes happen. Put in a person that has read the rules, watched a few games, & done some practice either via scrimmages or lower-level games the chance for mistakes is minimized.
What I was meaning with the scoreboard vs. shot clock controls is that generally all a shot clock operator has to worry about is the on/off switch, reset button, & blank button. The scoreboard operator on the other hand has the score buttons, foul buttons, & game clock controls.
Depending on the scoreboard setup, more mistakes can be made due to having to input player numbers after every made basket & after every foul called.
No need to worry about player numbers with the shot clock.
