During the C-Squad/V game, the other night (2-whistle crew), 1 of the officials had to leave de to his son going to the emergency room. Thankfully we had some MS/JH games that happened earlier, so we had additional officials available. One of those came in to finish the game as the official left at halftime.
During last night's GV game, shot clock operator was replaced at halftime due to medical issues.

Normally, if someone isn't available to replace an official in a case like this, the other official(s) will just finish the game without him; alone if that's the case.
I have no idea what they would normally do to replace someone at the table; my guess is grab the first willing volunteer out of the crowd.
