The thirty seconds to replace a disqualified or injured player is not a timeout. There are only two types of timeouts and they are both team timeouts (not withstanding electronic broadcast timeouts for NCAA games): one is long in duration and one is short in duration. The thirty second timeout to replace a disqualified or injured player does not fall into the team timeout category. And the situation is not a correctable error situation either because the player and team shoot the free throws to which he/she and it was entitled.
