They either start it too soon (while the person throwing the ball in still has the ball out of bounds), or they start it too late (the offensive team has already taken 5 dribbles up the court and it still hasn't started). One learns very quickly that it would be a complete waste of time to stop the game and fix the situation at some of those schools because you would be doing this on almost every possession.

I work D2, D3 and Juco. I also have a shot-clock in my NYC GV games. Yes, there can be problems. However, if things are that bad, you find someone else to do it - even if it's the AD or one of the home team's assistants. The school's administration will get the idea when its home games last 2½ hours because of all the delays.
