Only if he has the ball.
AnswerYes. The clock always stops when the ball goes out of bounds. It doesn't matter how it got there.Wrong - Although I don't feel it is a good rule, in college football if a player steps out of bounds going backwards and does not display a foward advance while carrying the ball the clock keeps running.
yes it is true that a referee must stop the clock by going out of bounds in the last 2 minutes of a football game. no-one knows why they were told to do this but now the rules have changed.
No, that rule has been in college football for a long time but has never been adopted by the NFL.
Short answer: Yes, but a 2008 rule change allows the clock to restart on a referee's signal. This from the NCAA rules: Ball Out Of Bounds (Rule 3-2-5-a-12). When a ball is carried or fumbled out of bounds, the game clock will stop, as always. Beginning in 2008 the game clock will start on the referee's signal when the ball is ready for play, not on the snap. In the last two minutes of the half, however, the clock will start on the snap as before, preserving the ability of the offensive team to maximize strategic use of the clock.
In 1987 the rules were amended as follows:In order to stop the clock, the quarterback is permitted to throw the ball out of bounds or to the ground as long as he throws it immediately after receiving the snap.
Contrary to popular belief, the clock does not start when the ball is kicked-off. Rather, it starts when any player on the field touches it (after it was kicked). If the ball is kicked out of bounds (either across the sidelines or beyond the end zone), no time comes off the clock, because the clock does not start. In such a case, the clock would start when the first play is snapped fromscrimmage.

The game clock stops when a ball carrier goes out of bounds maintaining forward momentum. The game clock continues if the ball carrier's forward momentum is stopped in bounds before he goes out of bounds. For most of the game, the clock is restarted when the line judge resets the ball and whistles play to continue. The exception is in the last 2 minutes of the first half or the last 5 minutes of the second half. In those cases, the clock does not start again until the offense snaps the ball.
Yes, the officials move the chains and place the ball at the proper yard line for the next play and then the referee blows the whistle to start the clock again.
the clock stops whenever the ball goes out of bounds . Time on the clock makes no difference

After first down, after incomplete pass, when player goes out of bounds a timeout

No
A player can actually roll the basketball too another player. You often see this on an out-of-bounds play when one team doesn't want the clock to start right away.
whatever the status of the clock is at the time of the infraction, is when the clock will start on the next play. example if the previous play was an out of bounds play then the clock would start on the snap. if the previous play was in bounds, then the clock will start when the referee blows the 25 second clock in
