So it's just like a denied request. Play on until the next dead ball.

The only issue is with the wording. Since the coaches actions distracted the opponents serve, a replay is directed by the R1.
The problem is that if it is a replay, the time out request can be granted (8.1.6 C Comment, a replay and a reserve are not the same thing).
The problem is also that if it is called re-serve, this counts against a player, so it isn't fair to call it a reserve either.
Personally I think an additional note needs to be put in place regarding the term replay. A replay caused by a coaches action shall not allow substitutions, time outs, or substitution requests.
