Given that I officiate in the State of Washington...

In the second half once we reach a point differential of 40 points or greater the clock will only stop for a time out, free throw administration, an officials time out or time between quarters. This doesn't change for the remainder of the game even if the point differential drops to below 40.

That is it, nothing more nothing less. My understanding of clock operations is limited as I am only an official, but I think once you get it running if you leave it alone it will contiune to run. But then again maybe I'm mistaken, maybe you need to feed it or whip it to keep it running.
