Someone on the crew has clock responsibility. He should eye the clock after every play when he gets a moment to make sure it is in the correct status.
This is especially true when time is nearing the end of a quarter.
If seen still running but should be stopped, he should note the time while trying to kill the clock. R can put time back on if needed.
If seen stopped but should be running, he should issue the wind signal continually and if it fails to start, R can make a determination of how much time should have come off and adjust it.
With two seconds left and stopped with no timeout called, it would take more than two seconds to spot the ball and get lined up.
R should end the quarter and confer with Team-A if need be, you'll need to if this were at the end of the 2nd or 4th quarter.
Afterwards have a talk with the time keeper on the rules for starting and stopping the clock.
