I've officiated for a deaf school team once. What I found was that it wasn't much different than every other game, other than we had a few times play continued beyond the whistle.
There will very likely be some players on the court who are 100% deaf, but there will also be others who have slight hearing and the whistle will be enough to get them to stop. The team I officiated was also very good at reading the actions of their opponents - they could tell when they had stopped playing for some reason and reacted appropriately.
