Near the sideline
In KY we have been asked to think about this mechanic. If you have a play where the ball becomes dead near the sideline, in or out, signal to stop the clock when it should stop, and no signal if it should keep running. If the R needs to know tell him, either vocally, or using the OOB signal (arms down, palms back).
I prefer that mechanic, but find either is acceptable. I normally wind it 2x, unless we're in the final seconds of either half. In that case I'll stop it immediately and relay to R that he was inbounds and take a look at the chain. Then we can restart the clock without consuming time for plays.
