Inform coach first
The reason I tell the coach as soon as I am notified by the table, start the timer, and THEN tell the player is because the player becomes bench personnel as soon as coach is notified. Any unsporting actions by this player could now cause the coach an indirect T which helps motivate the coach to get him off the vourt and to control his behavior. I consider this to be one of the many tools we have been given to mannage and control the game.
