Pulled off during the first half?
Were the original officials allowed to complete the game or was someone else subbed into the spot?

One was pulled off before the tip and the game was delayed for about 3 minutes while he went and changed. That was the first day. We were all reminded not to wear those shirts (we had already been informed several times). Later that day, a different official was pulled off about 3 minutes into the game and the Alternate finished the first quarter. Second day, first guy tried it again and was pulled off the court and the alternate worked the remainder of the game (I did not witness the third situation).
