Player misses the shot, call the delayed violation. If the coach has something to say at that point you can respond with 2 sentences and the conversation is over. "Coach, that is a delayed violation that carries over through the timeout. We are moving on."
Maybe, maybe not. But you're able to keep the situation in the huddle.

But if you take the approach "Coach, by rule, the violation is carried over. If the player misses their attempt, there will be another attempt awarded." Short, sweet, and simple.

JMO, but I prefer the heads-up approach rather than blind siding the coach from an obscure rule.
