30 sec after 5th foul

A coach has 30 sec to replace a player who has just recieved his/her 5th foul. My question is, can he use that 30 seconds to confer with his team? As long as his sub doesn't report, does the coach have the right to use this 30 seconds as he sees fit?

There's nothing that will prevent the coach from talking to his team, but that replacement 30 seconds should not technically be used for anything other than replacing the disqualified player and the coach should be aware of the warning buzzer.
