The clock can be running but we can have a dead ball, correct? Must be because every basket that is made, we maintain a running clock unless we have a timeout, foul, etc.

Live / Dead ball and Stopped / Running clock are two different things.
You can have a live ball with a stopped clock, a live ball with a running clock, a dead ball with a stopped clock and a dead ball with a running clock.
The coach needed to get the official's attention (perhaps by visiting the scorer's table) before the ball became live after B's basket.
