Of course. Many assignors have this all about "me! me! me!" attitude about them.
Frankly, it's silly. I've worked 2 varsity games in a day over Christmas. Come to think of it, I've worked 3 (afternoon and 2 evening). No problems, actually I was a bit more loosened up at the opening tip than usual because of the exercise and it's why I usually do 40 minutes of elliptical work before I leave for a game.
Our state forbids us from working another HS game when we have an assigned playoff game the same day. Someone not knowing this almost cost him a state tournament game. Of course, it took someone fairly slimy turning him in (another official) for this to become known.
