get sub first
Make the substitution before the time out. Since you have to report the foul prior to the media timeout beginning, then 4-17-5 applies, which states the disqualified player shall be replaced within a 20-second period.....
If you wait til the end of the media timeout, you are doing the other team a diservice, as they were not able to make possible adjustments that could be warrented from certain players being in the game. You also run the risk of the coach going brain dead and not getting the sub in before the warning horn, which would then by rule make him play with 4.
Regardless, the media will go to break when the appropriate time slot in the game has been reached. They will not wait for the substitution to occur. They are more interested in getting their commercials on the air.
