Communicate the clock status to the referee and the rest of the crew using signals the crew has agreed to beforehand.
Run the clock if it's not a first down and:
(1) The runner was tackled inbounds or
(2) The runner's progress was stopped inbounds

This is what we're doing this year. We have signals to give the R from the wing, but they do not include winding the clock before stopping it.
