Therefore, i might wait an extra split-second to put the ball in play to allow the coach the time to get someone to the table. If they don't, then i continue as normal.

It's the same reason i put additional focus on looking towards the coach(es) (if i'm opposite the bench) during a close game to see if they are requesting a timeout (after a made shot, turnover, etc). I want to use my knowledge of the game to be prepared for what situations might come about. I don't like to say that i anticipate what the coach may or may not do but knowing what might happen is always helpful.
