Rotation

The Lead was merely swapping back and forth and the Center official was, for an extended period of time during the flow of the game, subjected to an unnatural duration without the opportunity to make calls as were the other two."

While fascinating, I’d prefer if this notion were supported by empirical evidence.

Now that you're alerted to the alleged issue, watch for it in the games you do this season. The empirical evidence you're seeking might just strike you as valid by your own experience.
