The best 5th foul reply from the coach

In the 2003-05 Officials Manual, which I believe is the current manual with the correct mechanics except for the change to 3-person staying table-side when reporting says:

2-person Basic Procedures and Mechanics
page 37 i. The non-calling official shall notify the coach and then the player on a disqualification and will administer substitutions

3-person Basic Procedures and Mechanics
page 69 i. The trail official shall notify the coach and then the player on a disqualification and will administer the substitutions.

I know the 3-person has now changed due to the updated mechanic to stay table-side when reporting a foul, but the 2-person mechanic says the non-calling informs.

Well when I consider what to do, I am usually thinking of 3 Person mechanics. I do not work a lot of 2 Person games. We were told we could handle the DQs if we wanted to if we called the foul or let our partner do it. But if we have been going table side the entire game, why is this foul any different? I had a coach on Friday act out on me when I fouled out his kid and I just ignored him. The coach got the message and moved on.
