The player lying on the floor is in a legal position (in NFHS only). A stationary player owns their space from head to toe regardless if their orientation is vertical or horizontal .
Tell me where you get this from. I've pointed out that the screening rule specifically says a player has to have a STANCE and stay inside the vertical plane. Legal Guarding says vertical plane. A player gets a spot on the floor. Lying down takes up multiple spots. A player in your game can lay down to set a screen. defense now has to avoid a six foot space instead of another player vertical in his plane. double or triple screen with only one player....
