Maybe my caffeine hasn't kicked in yet but I don't know any other time that the ball is dead while the clock is moving.
Anyone??

The ball doesn't come "instantly" alive. It becomes alive only when it's at the other team's disposal.
I think someone's point (but I could be wrong) is that they would (or wouldn't) allow a coach to request a TO even after a made basket.
While all this is a nice "fantasy", it will never happen -- the coaches like the rule as it is and won't give up the ability to request TO.
