I do agree that the number is small where there are significant incidents that do cause questioning to happen.

I think you misunderstood me. By "a call to the AD," I meant from the officials if there's a problem. This is one of those jobs the AD is only going to think about if there's a problem. He expects it to run smoothly because it's not rocket surgery (or brain science).
If there's a problem, the officials should contact the AD through their proper channels and let him perform any necessary remedial training (or have it done by a designee).

If the AD won't take care of the problem, then having some remedial training in place isn't going to solve it either; and your clock operator is likely the least of your worries for that game. I'd be willing to bet the other duties (game management) aren't being performed adequately either.
