Default NASA backup crews

When Mattingly was pulled off of Apollo 13, the rest of the primary
crew remained. Up until then I had always heard that if a crew change
would have to be made, the whole crew would be changed (Gemini and
Apollo). Was that the policy? Why was it changed for A13?

I can see that the two LM guys have to work more closely together, so
that may be a factor.
