I have worked games where I was assigned one place and had to quickly go to the other. Then told by the assignor to "do not take very long" on the first game. It happens to the best of us and in many situations. Sometimes it is the AD or coach that wants to go home early. I will say usually in basketball it does not happen where people are openly trying to go home early. I can tell you as a Baseball Umpire and past Softball Umpire, it is common to have a coach in the pre-game introductions to tell the umpires to get the game over with. In basketball it is a more subtle when that point is being made. I worked two freshman games last Monday and the home coach was insisting on convincing the visiting coach to have a very short half-time and even talked about a shortened game to "get you guys home."
