30 seconds to replace DQ'd player

[gsf23]

I almost got a T on the other team in this situation. I had a player foul out, they lined up for the free throws and then they realized the kid had 5. The ref comes over to me and tells me and starts the clock. I know who I am going to sub in but I want to give my other four a break. While I am waiting there the other coach calls his guys over to the bench to talk to them. As soon as they got there I sent my sub up. The ref beckoned him in and then told the other team to get lined up. Ref had to ask them three times to get back on, thought I would get a T or at least a free throw violation. Just a little gamesmanship among coaches.
