I had one of my best friends get his big break in D1 ball that way. He had just finished a D2 game and had a pretty long drive home. He turned on the radio to listen to the nearby game from the D1 conference he just got picked up in and had the same supervisor as his D2.
The referee took an elbow to the head on opening tip also. He headed directly to the arena and called the supervisor on the way. At halftime both coaches approved for him to officiate the 2nd half.
