Me (as umpire, to assistant scorekeeper, during timeout): "Is the libero on or off the court on your right?"
AS: "Off."
(Libero comes onto the court)
Me: "Coach, your replacement has to take place AFTER the timeout is over. Please put your regular player back on the court until the timeout is over."
(Players switch)
Now I whistle to officially end the timeout, and they may now replace legally.
