From a coach's viewpoint, I fail to see the benefit. I/we have established a "rapport" with the official on our sideline during the first half. Bringing a different official to our sideline does nothing to improve the game in my opinion. To the contrary, it sends us a message that we were somehow out of line and needed someone else over there to "take care of us".

If I/we are being such a$$es that the official on our sideline feels he needs a change, then something should have been done about it earlier - that's what USC flags are for, right?

I guess I just don't see how it is going to make things "better."

Maybe the R and BJ should switch also.

On our crew, that would be the R, with his "fetish" for having popcorn at halftime. Jeez.

So, if you fail to achieve "rapport" then it is ok to flag for a USC?

That's not what I said. If the thinking behind the OP is that the LJ and HL "need" to switch then somebody didn't take care of their sideline, did they? On the other hand, if there is a rapport, why mess with it.
