Guys, assignors don't assign/officials don't accept two games in one day as a matter of standard practice. It does happen on occasion out of necessity - when an official has weather/travel-issues AND THE ONLY VIABLE OPTION is for an official nearby to cover the game.
It happened a couple of years ago when an official had an 11am CT game at Marquette and then drove down to South Bend, IN. to cover something like an 8pm game at Notre Dame ('cause an official either had travel issues or got injured the night before).
IMHO, having an official work two games in the same day out of necessity is NOT a "disservice to the game of basketball"....having to work 2-man in these type of games is the disservice.
