If going to the knees were legal, why wouldn't they specify it as they did with, while on your back you can sit up.?
An official interp would be nice. This one isn't IMO

I'm quite sure she meant setting the ball down to get up and then retrieving the ball.
Otherwise, simply setting the ball down would be the violation, whether the person got up or not.
BillyMac,
Just because a person in authority makes a statement, that doesn't make it an official interpretation, whether they said in front of a symposium or in an email exchange. Based on your logic, every word that comes out of an interpreter's mouth is an official interpretation even if they're at a bar drinking and having a conversation about basketball rules. I wish you would stop doing that and start using a little common sense on what an official interpretation or ruling is.
An official interpretation is published guidance from the organization in authority.
