Shawn, jmo, but I would expect the disqualified player to start to the bench when the official notified him. It wouldn't bother me if he stopped and touched hands with his teammates, or said a few words to them. I really don't care how slowly or quickly or how long he takes to get to the bench either. But after he gets to the coach, I wouldn't let the coach send him back out on the floor either to perform coaching duties. As I cited above, the rules do not allow that. The player lost the right to participate when he was disqualified. There's no rule stopping the coach from calling the 4 remaining ball players on the floor over to himself at the bench and giving them the same instructions himself- as long as the coach has a sub ready to go at the end of 30 seconds.
