I ask because this is how I used to enforce the rule, until someone locally pointed out that the rule says something like, "A TO can be shortened on the request of the coach or captain."
According to this individual, just ahving the team come out of the huddle early isn't reason to shorten the TO.

NCAA 5-10-20: "The team that requests a timeout may shorten that timeout when the captain/head coach notifies the official of the team's intent."
As Dan said, the coach notifies the official of his intent when he sends 5 players onto the floor.
