It's done all the time in NCAAW / NAIAW / JuCoW games in our area, Jeff. Now, sometimes, at that level, newer officials don't know they can do that, so they go across and force the other officials to adjust. At least until we can talk to them.

You got that right. The first time in a game an official forces his/her partners to switch when the play is going long is usually the last.

I have definitely been guilty of this!

I went to a college game to watch a family friend play on her senior day and watched an entire game. I do not recall them doing this once, but then again I probably was not paying that close attention.

I will admit I rarely watch a lot of the games in front of me anymore when I work those levels you mentioned in our area.
