Both players must be replaced by rule. Is there a right/wrong way to do this? Do we:
1) Wait until A1 can be moved from the court and then handle the substitutions or get B1's sub while A1 is being tended to?
2) If we wait for A1 to be moved from the court, do we replace B1 first (20 seconds) then replace A1 (20 seconds) or vice versa; or do we replace them during the same 20 second interval?

I'd start the timer on B right away.
For A, I wait for the sub. Usually, the team will gather in front of the bench. If a 5th team member stands, then I ask if that's the sub and have him / her report (only players can stand during this interval -- I'm usually not too strict on the rule, but here I'll use it to my advantage).
In the TO scenario, same thing -- except I ask the coach if we have a sub or if they are going to use a TO.
