Correctable Error appeal/Stop play during a live ball?

5-8:
Time-out occurs and the clock, if running, shall be stopped when an official:

Article 4. Responds to the scorer's signal to grant a coach's request that a correctable error.... be prevented or rectified. The appeal to the official shall be presented at the scorer's table where a coach of each team may be present.

2-11-3

The scorer shall: Signal the officials by using the game horn or a sounding device unlike that used by the referee and umpires. This may be used immediately if, or as soon as, the ball is dead or is in control of the offending team.

I should have said they don't need to blow the horn during a fast break. As soon as the ball is dead blow it and get it corrected.
