I was talking about this part when he/she lays back and the "any other part of the body" touches the floor. Maybe I am looking to far into it. I have seen this called every time it has happened. I am not trying to cause a debat or arguement, just want to get it right.

Another part of his body is already touching the floor. It's not illegal if then he lies back. As Bob wrote, read the case play, which is directly on point.
As for seeing it called, that's not unusual. But it doesn't make it correct.
