You will however see a veteran crew chief have another lesser experienced crew chief working the game (example of Dan Crawford and Rodney Mott).
Just two examples at random
02/01/12 Toronto at Boston: James Capers, David Jones and Courtney Kirkland
Better example:
02/01/12 Oklahoma City at Dallas: Ron Garretson, Michael Smith, Mark Ayotte
When an official is moved up to be a crew chief, they spend a good part of that year split between being a crew chief and serving under a strong, veteran crew chief.

Which is why I specifically said regular CC's...as in officials that would be designated the CC in every regular season game they officiate. I can think of 10 or so officials that would fit that bill. Of course, as JRut alluded to, with the shorten season this year, it wouldn't surprise me if on one night, due to scheduling conflicts, two regular CC's worked together.
