I can't think of any reason that would make this illegal.

Section 44 TRAVELING
ART. 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.
I think Rule 44-5-a shows that a player (though sitting) holding the ball and then touching the player's back (not hand or foot) to the floor is a violation.
