A1 committed his fifth foul. I notified the coach. Team A has no available substitutes. Is there any reason in the world that I have to grant a 30 second delay before starting? (They get 30 seconds to find a sub if they have one, but in this case coach is just looking for an extra time-out because he doesn't have any of those left either.) I didn't let him have the 30 seconds. He was angry, and he was going to look it up when he got home. I am terrified that he will find out that I am wrong.
I found 10-5-1-c Coaches' Rule that allows the coach to stand to "replace or remove a disqualified/injured player...within 30 seconds when a substitute is available". In my situation, no sub was available, although the rule also says "remove" in addition to "replace". I also found rule 2-12-5 under the Timer's Duties, and it does mention "replacing a player". But isn't there some rule in the book that explicity states that the coach has 30 seconds to find a replacement for a disqualified player?
