Maybe we are not discussing the same thing. I do not see the "ball" mentioned in the ruling.
I can see where you are going with regards to guarding but the ruling has a blanket statement involving lying on the court being illegal. So, how does that apply to other situations? or, does lying on the court being illegal
only apply to these 2 situations?
