When a player gets his 5th foul and is disqualified, we have always been taught to first inform the coach, then the player - and not the other way around. The player does not actually become bench personnel until the coach is notified (right?).
What about in this instance? Do you need to tell the coach that the player is ejected before he/she becomes bench personnel? If so, that might make telling the coach a little higher priority.
As far as the signals go, I think Todd hit it on the head. We need to be uniform as a group - in both rule enforcement and presentation. For instance, how many refs have you seen call the "over-the-back" foul which does NOT exist. All this does is invite the coach to argue for it in his/her next game.
