Absolutely. Otherwise, they are likely to go ahead an administer the FT while you are getting the replacement player.
And, be sure they receive the message. It's too easy to tell them that it's 5 fouls, and to have them look right at you while you are doing it, and still have them not receive the message (they are thinking about getting players lined up for FTs, etc). I speak from experience on this.
On the slow scorekeepers -- near the end of the game, take a little extra time at the table after reporting the foul to see if it's the player's fifth foul.
