At first I mentally questioned my partner, but then I went back to what I've been taught about sliding on the floor, and what you can legally do once you stop sliding: sit up if you're on your back, pass, shoot, start a dribble, or call time out. Since this act wasn't on my legal list, I decided that my partner had made a good call. Is my legal list complete? Are both of us correct? Citations please, both for and against.
Add case book play 4.44.5SitB to your list.

It's good that your partner knew that one.
