Ball on the floor. Player gets it on the ground. It sounds like they want us to call a preventative whistle quick to prevent injuries when others start swarming for the ball.
Just to clarify . . .

"Ankle braces" are nowhere mentioned in the rules portion of the POE's.

No suggestion to "call a preventative whistle quick..." appears or is emphasized anywhere. In fact, we are simply challenged to call the fouls that occur when the loose ball recovery action ensues. In fact, the oft-called preventative held ball whistle prior to things getting rough is discouraged: "...officials have also erroneously called a "held ball" prematurely to stop action rather than calling the contact foul before a player gains possession."
