Actually, the rule change that allows a coach to buy an injured player back into the games makes this situation easier to handle. Instead of intentionally ignoring the rule that requires a substitution when a coach comes onto the court to tend to an injured player, an official now can tell the coach, "By rule, because you came onto the court, you must replace the injured player. However, you have the option of using a time out and keeping the player in the game."
