Why just get the teenagers involved, get some parents involved as well or other adults.

Besides the aforementioned devices, the other problem with teenagers is that their friends want to be with them.

It's a volunteer job 99% of the time, so you get what you get.

You get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

Really? Here, it's a paid position (usually, teachers eraning overtime). I've heard that they earn more than the officials on the game.

At the local JuCos, they are paid, but the pay is small.

Same here. All paid. Most make more than us if they work the JV and V games.

Again, Snaqwells spouts off from his limited experience. I should find out if the table crews get paid here.

At one of our local High Schools there is a waiting list of people for the table jobs. It typically requires something extreme, like a death to move up that list...obviously not so with the Jr Highs.

Is that at Eastmount or Wenatchee?

Varsity here gets paid (the scorebaord operator/timer does), for the subvarsity games, it's volunteer (unless a parent is trying to pay off their child's fees).

For 4A Regionals last year, if I remember right, the table crew was getting paid $10 a game (PA Announcer, Shot Clock, Scorer, & Timer).

The list is for Wenatchee, I know someone who is on the list but because he only has at best 40 more years on the planet isn't expecting to get the call...I don't know about Eastmont. Now that I think about it the table crew for the JV games at Wenatchee had the same set of experienced people every game. They were good too, letting us know when it was bonus or double bonus, great with the arrow, etc.

Well at least B.J. has several people at her disposal for working games.

Down here, I wish there was a list of people on the waiting list, but that isn't so. From my understanding, there's only 3-4 people that can do shot clock, & only 3-4 people that can do scoreboard/timer. As for scorebook, we have one person that does the Varsity books, but for JV & C-Squad, it's whoever is available to do it even if they have no training.
