Maybe a T here is not the choice course of action, but it's awfully hard to argue that we dont have rule support to do so with the following:
ART.2...The official's jurisdiction, prior to the game, begins when they arrive on the floor. The official's arrival on the floor shall be at least 15 minutes before the scheduled starting time of the game.
ART.3...The official's
jurisdiction extends through periods when the
game may be momentarily stopped for any reason.
ART.4...The
jurisdiction of the officials' is terminated and the
final score has been approved when all
officials leave the visual confines of the playing area.

ART.1...Penalize unsporting conduct by any player, coach, substitute, team attendant or follower.
Maybe the electronic device in the locker room caseplay is provided to show we do have jurisdiction during half time. For that specific situation &/or any other unsporting conduct.
The rules c l e a r l y state when our jurisdiction is over. I believe they would've added the words
except during half time if that was the case.
