The head coach has 30 seconds to replace an injured, diqualified, or improperly equipped player. If he chooses to use that 30 seconds as a many TO, there's nothing that can be done about it. I really don't think there's much danger of the game being prolonged excessively due to such practices.

and also in the movie Hoosiers he never replaced a disqualified player "my team is on the floor" does he have to if he has available players? just a thought thanks

No, he must have 5 players on the floor if 5 are available. However, the rule may have been different in 1951. Maybe mick can tell us!
BTW, you're always welcome, even if you are "one of them."
