Second question. How are they delaying the game? They aren't supposed to be lined up, right? Let the coach talk to them as long as they stay on the court.

Unless the 5th foul was a T or an Intentional foul they must have 2 players lined up for any Free Throw attempts.

If their are no Free Throws then give a short chirp of the Whistle and if they are still conferring with the Coach let the ball be in-bounded for the easy bucket.

In the OP, it sounds like the sub was never provided. Assuming that is the case...

If the 20 second interval runs out without the sub being available, then you have T on the coach.

So, at that point, the team no longer has to occupy the lower spaces. However, you still can't proceed until the sub has been brought into the game.

If the coach still doesn't provide a sub, I guess you'd go a 2nd T and eject the coach.

All that said, GET INTO THEIR HUDDLE and tell the coach you need that sub NOW before it gets to that point. Chances are, he is just distracted and unaware of the ramifications.

As for the huddling, they can do that if they want. The sub just needs to be provided before the time runs out. Once the sub is provided, the game resumes immediately.

I was taking it to be two separate situations.

1. Can a coach talk to his players during the 20 second interval?

2. When the clock has expired and you have FTs to shoot, can the coach talk to his players while the FTs are being shot?

I may have read it wrong.
