In my opinion, Ms. Atkinson's interpretation included a poorly written rationale, and left some questions unanswered, or answered incompletely.

Until it shows up in the casebook, or as an annual interpretation, or a point of emphasis, don't lose any sleep over it. Attempting to get up is still a subjective judgement decision.

thedewed: "She was attempting to get up."

Coach: "Thank you for the explanation thedewed. You're an outstanding official. What's with the ears?"
