The Coach has 30 seconds to replace the player, if he takes over that, it's a delay of game "T". Now if you beleve the player deserves a "T" that "T" is on bench personal and an indirect on the coach. It sounds like your partner gave the coach 30 seconds and the got away from the benches. In our association we have the off official inform the coach and then the player, this gets the calling referee away from the coach and the possibility of a "T" resulting from emotions of the player and or coach. Not exactly by hoyle but it works.
