Is there a delayed dead ball in OBR?

Coach's interference (aiding a runner)
Batter's interference (with a catcher making a play)
Umpire's interference (ditto)
Catcher's interference
Some balks
Ejections that happen while play is on-going

Bob, I have in my mind that,
by interpretation, the ball is ALIVE AND IN PLAY on coach's assistance [OBR 7.08(i)]. It only gets called dead if the defense attempts to play on the assisted runner after the coach interferes.
I also have it in my mind that, unless I have missed an interpretation, Umpire's interference with a catcher's throw is also an immediate dead ball under OBR 2.00 Interference(c), or if it is interference with any other thrown ball it remains ALIVE AND IN PLAY under OBR 5.08.
Am I in error on these two points?
Cheers
