I've done that. I did it in my last game and got on the coach to get a sub. But it doesn't seem against the rules for a coach to do exactly that, make it an unofficial hurried Timeout. As long as it lasts under 20 seconds. .
It's not against the rules. S/He can use the 20 seconds how s/he wants -- many s/he wants to ask the team if they'd rather have player x or player y in the game.

FWIW, IL experimented with a "must replace the DQ'd player 'immediately' " rule a few (5-10) years ago. It worked well, imo.
