Ah, but 'normal flying', as you describe it, is a level cruising turn. Stalls occur in the 'landing phase', or when you are focused on 'heading-to-centerline' control with rudder; looking out over the nose keeping the nose straight with rudder and wings level with aileron. Which is how I teach, all the time, for continuity. I 'turn the airplane' with rudder, and I 'co-ordinate' enough bank, with aileron, to keep the ball centered. No matter what phase of flight I'm in, yaw is controlled by rudder, and bank (or slip) is controlled by aileron.
