I have never used it nor seen anyone who has
I consider knowing the AP arrow, score, Time, and Shot clock information as a part on game managment, and keeping my head in the game at all times.

It is a great thing when there is an issue and the crew can quickly say the shot clock should read 19 seconds, when it has accidentally been re set or the calling official comes out of the scrum with a jump ball and direction rather than having to check with the table - this awarness on the floor is one of the things I worked on all summer and it has been an advantage already in the four games I have worked several times.

When you have these little items under control it is one less thing you have to worry about going wrong in a game, it gives those there (correctly) the impression you are on top of things and that can keep a coach off you back on a borderline call because they know you are in the game.
