Casebook Play ...
4.44.5 SITUATION B: A1 dives for a loose ball and slides after gaining control.
A1 is in a position either on his/her back or stomach. What can A1 do without
violating? RULING: A1 may pass, shoot, start a dribble or call a time-out. Once
A1 has the ball and is no longer sliding, he/she may not roll over. If flat on his/her
back, A1 may sit up without violating. Any attempt to get to the feet is traveling
unless A1 is dribbling. It is also traveling if A1 puts the ball on the floor, then rises
and is first to touch the ball. (4-44-5b)
Did she pass, shoot, start a dribble, request a timeout, or sit up? All those are legal. Anything else, like attempting to get up, putting the ball on the floor, rising, and picking up the ball, or rolling over, are illegal.
Now, how about partially rolling over? Let me get out my protractor.
