This might be obvious to everyone else, but why wouldn't 2-44-5a apply?
"2-44-5 . . . A player holding the ball:
a. May not touch the floor with a knee or any other part of the body other
than hand or foot.
b. After gaining control while on the floor and touching with other than hand
or foot, may not attempt to get up or stand."

Does the fact that she is on the floor as in 2-44-5-b mean that she is now allowed to touch other body parts to the floor besides her feet and the part also already touching touching the floor?
