I am assuming the timeout was the first deadball after the clock was properly started...

ok, here's one...i heard at a camp one time a speaker say that he pregames with the table to not blow the horn during a live ball...

what if the table knows of the coaches request to fix an error, and was told by the R to not blow the horn during a live ball, and several baskets are made, THEN a dead ball, "allowing" the table to blow the horn (again, according to this particular speaker). Is it then NOT correctable b/c it wasn't before the 2nd live ball?...with the only reason for it NOT being within the normal C.E. time constraints is b/c the ref told the table in pregame to wait til a dead ball?

Huh? Why wouldn't the table blow the horn at the first dead ball (afte the first basket)? The error is still correctable at that point.

Each basket constitutes a dead ball, thus allowing for the table to blow the horn even under the R's instructions.

As Bob and Snaqs note the ball becomes dead following each made goal and the scorer could sound the horn then, but it would be best if the scorer/timer ignored the request of the R and simply followed the rules.
