I agree that there is nothing more basic than Live Ball/ Dead Ball. Correctable errors (2-10) seem to be shoe-horned in, and these are the only errors which allow errors by floor officials to be corrected.
In the case of B huddling by the bench; A is allowed one miss, and then the T comes out. Also, note that the official is aware of the huddling, and the rules tell him what to do.
In the situation of the original post, the administering official has no idea that something is amiss. The rules allow us to correct others' errors (sometimes), but they don't allow us to correct our own errors (except in the correctable errors of 2-10-1).
