GPC2, The rule does indeed say this play is illegal in Fed. Rule 4-2-2 has an exception for the holder who has his knee(s) in contact with the ground to place and hold the ball to be kicked. Another exception for the holder to rise to advance, hand, kick or pass the ball.

There is no exception for the holder to pass the ball with his knee touching the ground. Without such an exception the holder is down and ball is dead.
