But he can pass, shoot, start a dribble (if he hasn't dribbled already), request a timeout; or if the player is flat on his back, that player may sit up. These are all legal acts, and are not violations. Play on.
Wow. Basketball officials need to know a lot of stuff.

Kinda odd that a player, standing and holding the ball, can throw the ball in the air, lay on the floor, and catch the ball but yet.. A player, laying on the floor and holding the ball, cannot throw it in the air, stand, and catch the ball. In this case, if you allow one set of actions, why not allow the reverse set of actions?
