[This the first dead ball after the clock properly started and is when the error is yet correctable.]
The OOB off Red [2nd dead ball] and Blue's throw-in is next dead ball (7.1) after the clock properly started.
After the 2nd dead ball the error is no longer correctable.
Count Red's last basket and Throw-in to Blue at Table.

AAARRrrgghh!!! And I thought I totally NAILED it! Even went back and reread the correctable errors section the next morning.
So here's what I did. 1) I let the time on the clock stand. 2) Went back and allowed the bonus throws and then 3) gave the ball to Blue for a throw-in on the OOB's.
I TOTALLY missed the first dead ball after Red scored and considered the OOB's play to be the first one. I explained it as such to both coaches and they ended up being in agreement which was fine because that's how we were going to do it anyhow! 
There shouldn't be any difference in the application of a deadball/correctable error even though you have a running clock either, should there? A deadball is a deadball whether the clock runs or not, correct?

WyMike,
Yes, that seems to be the case.
Yet, I don't think this a a perfectly written rule in any case.
Not only must we understand the "timing" required, the scorekeeper must also understand this rule in order to make us aware of the problem in that timely manner. Your scorekeeper may have had a *feeling* for the rule, but told you at first chance, which was a touch late.

I pregame this with my scorekeeper. Rather than trying to explain the whole timing thing in 2-10, I tell him/her that if you discover that we've missed a bonus, hit the buzzer right away and we'll sort it out. And I remind them that there is a timeframe for fixing this kind of error and sooner is always better.
Some may argue that we don't want them signaling us except at a dead ball or when the "offending team" has the ball or whatever. But it is more likely, IMHO, that we'll end up costing somebody some points if we don't correct the error than we will if the scorer buzzes during play.
