The trail is right there if a coach requests a time-out before the free throws are taken.
And I'm 5'7" and have not had a problem seeing the scorer's table (I think that's where the subs are supposed to be) before I bounce the ball to the shooter as Lead.

Being tableside or not has never been an issue for me communicating with coaches. Most coaches really don't give a hoot what I have to say, they just want to say something and feel like you're paying attention. I can do that from a distance with a nod of the head or some other non-verbal just as easily as I can do it standing in front of them with my back to them. By the time I get close to them again they are not even thinking about whatever play was on their mind.
And I've seen plenty of subs come to the table after the Lead has bounced the ball to the thrower (I think that they are allowed to report to the table after the ball has been administered).
