Having two feet on the floor doesn't mean the player is in a stable position.

Example...player jumps for the ball, catches it in mid-air, lands on one foot followed by the other but is off balance. They fall to the floor such that the first foot down doesn't move. Certainly not common, but not really that improbable either.
