The coach doesn't get to turn this into an extended free timeout, either. The coach is to have the player ready to enter the game before the second horn goes off, not send the player up after the second horn.
I watched a game Saturday night where there should've been 2 technical fouls on the home team for delaying in this situation -- but the covering official (who was the weak link in a 3-person crew) didn't do anything.
