You treat this like any other time out regardless of the coach's intention. Report the TO to the table, they start the 60 sec clock (or 30 sec clock). All subs must be reported before the buzzer at the first horn (45 secs or 20 secs). Players must remain standing if it is a 20 sec TO.
If either coach wants to take the entire TO, he may. If one team is ready early, it must wait for the other team who is taking the entire TO. If both teams are ready early, you may disregard the time left, and resume play.

Marty, he is asking about a college rule and mechanic. The NCAA put in last year a rule to allow a timeout just for a substitution only. The coaches are suppose to give a signal to indicate that this is the kind of timeout they are requesting. They are used as 30 second timeouts, and if they do not have them, they can use up a full to accomplish the same thing.
The mechanic for Women is the 30 second timeout signal, with a "travel-like" signal above the head with your index fingers.
The mechanic for the Men's side, is a 30 second signal with a travel signal.
These timeout are to only be used for substituations. They are not timed, but the substitutes are suppose to come in immediately and then we start the game as if there was a dead ball.
Peace
