This is the part that's missing. And if he refuses to have a sub ready at the 2nd horn, the technical pretty much calls itself. It's what happened to me in a GV game a few weeks ago (it was on a disqualification, but it's the same principal).

I also think there are a lot of officials that don't realize that there is a 20-second interval in this situation that starts when the coach is done attending to the player and clearly turns to the task at providing a sub.

I didn't realize you should start a 20 second clock after a player has been attended to and you are waiting for a sub to come to the table. I don't think I have ever had a coach refuse to put in a sub after an injury to a player. Have had trouble getting a sub from time to time after a foul out but the 20 second horn takes care of that, though I have never had to issue a technical because of that, though a few times have forgot to start the time because of a "healthy" discussion with the coach. Sometimes in those moments especially dealing with Middle School coaches the right mechanic slips the mind from time to time.

That's understandable, and most of these coaches will continue arguing until you start the clock. At most, he'll talk to a wall for 20 seconds until the T is issued. Report the T and repeat as necessary.
