They are given the 15 seconds to pick the sub AND to instruct the team on how they are going to adapt to losing the DQ'd player.
And it isn't free...they get it at the expense of losing a player.

If he can get all his players to run from the far end of the Court and hurdle while he's also choosing a sub within that 15 second time period, more power to him.
But the argument that he was not allowed to confer with his team therefore he was put at a disadvantage is bogus.
