Frankly, if I'm working one game I can't imagine working up such a severe thirst in a half of work. Unlike baseball, where we're on the field in heat for hours at a time, the longest halves in basketball don't even approach an hour (in a HS game).

It would be nice to be handed a cup of water, though. I got that once all season. OTOH we've had schools that didn't give us water at halftime and to me that's just not acceptable. How hard is it to provide a bottle of water and a towel for the officials?
