Why would the officials be disciplined? I am sure there was a commissioner and/or representative of the NIT observing and phone calls went out before the decision was made whether to play or suspend the game. I would venture to guess that the officials didn't independently decide whether to play or to suspend the game by themselves. Probably at some media timeout the ultimate decision was made by the coaches and/or athletic directors of the teams and the NIT tournament representatives.
