if the coach wants to burn a timeout to keep away from the T then I think we need to let him. Besides that I am not sure that walking off of the floor to a timeout is participating....who is to say that another person from the bench didn't run out to greet their team mates...I know that isn't how it happened but it is plausible enough since they didn't know where the 6th player came from to begin with...
