And you shouldn't. It's not the way to resume the half by rule.
If a team isn't available when the half is to begin, you are to instruct the timer to start a 60-second time period. If the team is not available at the end of the "extra minute" they are assessed a team technical foul.
You would never actually start the half without the other team present.
