Welcome to the forum.

The procedure you are using is correct, as per the clarification issued by the NFHS in this year's rule book. Rule 2-8-4 was re-written to notify coach--> signal timer to start replacement interval--> notify player. Telling the coach doesn't automatically start the 30 second clock; you have to tell the timer to start the clock. As Tony said previously, the player became bench personnel when you informed the coach.
