You're right. The official doesn't have to do this as the coaches should know the rules. But sating simply "coach I need a sub" could incorrectly suggest that there are no other options.
I usually say "coach, we need a replacement unless you want to take a timeout." If they don't immediately request a timeout, then start the replacement interval.
