It's up to the calling official to change. And, I've been in both positions when calls weren't changed (because the calling official had something later, or for game management).

There are many variables on my position, and it's all not black and white. I had a partner come in twice this season and I was fine with it. Generally, if it's bang, bang OB in front of me, say as lead, I don't want my trail, double whistling, running in. As I mentioned in a previous post, as non-calling official I tend to give partner benefit of the doubt that he may have seen something I didn't.
I think you'll agree, especially at HS varsity level when you may have new partners you haven't worked with the trust level isn't as solid as your regular crew. A guy I regularly work with I trust explicitly. If he's coming over, I missed it.
So, to sum up your question of "really?" No, not really there are variables.
Not sure what you meant by game management?
