If the coach says "sub" (or does not say "TO"), then I go to the table to start the clock. THAT"S WHEN the replacement interval starts and it's now too late for the coach to request a TO to keep the player in the game.
See cases 3.3.6 and 3.3.7 including those at the beginning of the case book and in the section on each rule (a total of eight or so cases).
I should add that this note is not new. Not sure how long it's been there, but at least for several years (probably longer).
