Are you really saying a player either laying flat or sitting can't roll to the side while making a pass?
We disagree. Shrug.

If they roll all the way onto their side with the ball, no, that is "rolling over" and the case play supports that interpretation by excluding that action from the list of permissible actions.
If they rock
towards the side in the motion of passing the ball....no violation.
Sort of like a standing player taking a step forward with their pivot foot that would be a travel if had they not just released the ball before the foot came back down.
