This depends on the alliance captain and if they are willing to switch out. I'd bet a large number of teams are willing to switch out, but the possibility never crosses their mind. Perhaps bringing up the possibility while noting the reasons for not wanting to play that team in a particular match would ve sufficient for most alliances.
