What if the players are already in that area? How quickly do they need to get out?
The coach gets 30 seconds to replace the DQ'd player. He can use that time to made adjustments with the rest of the players on the floor or to instruct the sub or eat a burrito if he wants.
The book says he only has to have the sub in by the 30 seconds and places NO other limits on what can be done in that time period that are nother imposed at other times. Coaches can always call the players over to the sideline w/o penalty to with their players at any point in the game with only one exception: the two defensive players (and only those two) required to be on the lane for FTs.
