I believe the issue here is that the coach believes he has a "timeout" rather than 30 seconds to think about who to sub.
I believe the 30 seconds are needed as the coach has been placed in a situation that he hadn't accounted for. From the standpoint of strategy he may need the time to make the decision on who to sub especially at the higher level of ball.
AS long as the sub is not beckoned in, I have no problem with the 30 seconds. However Once the sub is on the floor the coach has used his "30 Seconds" and play must continue immediately.
