I've worked JUCO men's basketball and don't recall ever working with an official who didn't "count and chop" by the book. And even if someone did it the "unapproved" way, why should I care? That is between him and the assigner. All I can control is that I myself use mechanics that are acceptable for the respective assigner. And, yes, veterans often can get away with doing things that less experienced officials cannot. Really no different than a real job.

I've also never worked with a men's JUCO official who also works women's JUCO, as far as I am concerned. Again, even if I did, that is not my problem and is between him and the assigner. I can recall one small Christian college that utilized the same assigner for men's and women's basketball. That school didn't care if it got "men's officials" for its women's games or vice-versa; as long as they were competent, knew the rules and gave their best effort. So, there was occasionally some crossover there when the assigner was in a bind.

Maybe your sample size is just too small. Or you're worried about things that don't matter and that you can't control.
