I politely and respectfully disagree. Please re-read my two sentences above and ponder my point for a moment. Every other rule of basketball is still in effect when a player has the ball on the floor. Why should the pivot foot restrictions not be?

Nevadaref, 4-43-5b is the only traveling rule that applies to a player who is sitting, kneeling, or lying on the floor. Case plays are written to elaborate on this rule. Everything else in 4-43 applies to moving a foot or feet in any direction in excess of prescribed limits while holding the ball
and standing.
