I wasn't saying anything about it being hard.

Depending on the game, a person can become nervous or unsure of themselves if certain situations are presented. Especially if they have no prior experience & are being trained on the spot.

The first varsity games where I was timer was during the 4A Regionals back in February 2009, although I had been doing Girls' Varsity shot clock throughout the year.

I've done as Camron described - taken a student with no experience and taught them the essentials in 5 minutes or less and they did a great job. It just isn't that difficult......
