Sounds to me like the team doing the switching was going rogue.
This was a philosophy debate years and years ago in FRC, before the ranking systems shifted to other tiebreakers. Some (myself included) will argue there's nothing wrong with playing the big-picture game and maximizing your own ranking. Others will argue that it's not in the spirit of the game not to maximize your alliance's score.
