This tells me that if it is not running there's nothing to do.
Are you saying that if the throw-in pass is caught by a player standing on the sideline you will chop the clock in and then signal the violation?

The "you" here might be two different officials. The administering official may not be in any position to observed the OOB situation. Thus, time will be started by the administering official and will be stopped by the covering official.
If it is one official (me), I'm not going to start then stop the clock.
