Yes,he could have used a 30-second TO to keep the player in the game, if the player was ready to play at the end of the 30 seconds.The coach could also use successive TO's comprised of a 60 second and a 30 second, too, if he wanted to. You were probably thinking about the clarification in this year's rule book that allows a coach to use a 30-second TO when he's requesting the review of a correctible error, if that's all that he has left.
From the "Comments On the 2002-03 Rules Revisions" in last year's rulebook-
"This change permits a player who is required to leave the game for blood or injury to remain in the game if the team calls a time-out (60 or 30 second) and the sutuation can be corrected by the end of the time-out".
