Maybe I misread, was it not? Once you've told the coach that there is blood on the jersey, he should be able to request and be granted a timeout before the replacement interval begins.

I would agree with this on a 5th foul for sure, but as long as the request is made before you've started the 20 second clock, the interval should be moved to the end of the timeout (or made irrelevant by the situation being remedied.)
