If I feel like umpiring another game, and, if I like working with the "new" partner, I'll stay. Obviously, if I have never worked with him that can't be a factor. I can go to my car for a breather in between, have a pregame, etc.
If I don't feel like working more, for any reasons, I would just tell the new guy I can't stay. I've done many a game alone in my day. It's true that in basketball you can find a locker room to get away. But working alone in basketball is a lot more difficult than doing a baseball game alone.
For the record: I always prefer working a 2 or 3 man crew.
I'd rather have a partner than get the fee and a half.
