I was not able to notify the officials until after the second throw. I told the officials that was his fifth, and he was removed before the T shots. The question, if I was able to notify the officials about the fifth foul before his free throws, what should have happened? The crew discussed the situation and we had two paths discussed, both of which made sense. Thank you.

A player is ejected when the coach is notified. Until then, he is just aplayer with 5 fouls that gets to shoot foul shots. If you told the officials this player had 5 fouls, the proper procedure would have been to bring in his/her substitute and that substitute would shoot the free throws.
These FTs are with the lane cleared, as are B's for A1's T.
