It also depends on the person's experience & their maturity level as to how well they comprehend what needs to be done.

Depending on the scoreboard setup, I beg to differ as to which can be more complicated.

Ok so let's make everything simplistic & have FED adopt all NCAA Rules.

No matter how you slice it properly operating the shot clock is more difficult than the scoreboard. And it has nothing to do with the buttons, knobs, or switches. Has to do with rules.

Again, it can depend on a person's experience & training.

Sure put in personnel that have only watched the games, more mistakes happen. Put in a person that has read the rules, watched a few games, & done some practice either via scrimmages or lower-level games the chance for mistakes is minimized.

What I was meaning with the scoreboard vs. shot clock controls is that generally all a shot clock operator has to worry about is the on/off switch, reset button, & blank button. The scoreboard operator on the other hand has the score buttons, foul buttons, & game clock controls.

Depending on the scoreboard setup, more mistakes can be made due to having to input player numbers after every made basket & after every foul called.

No need to worry about player numbers with the shot clock.

Hence why I as saying that the FED should make the Duties of Game Management appendix mandatory is cause of how often I have seen the misapplication of rules by table personnel due to either not keeping themselves up to date or not reading the rules at all.
