I ruled it illegal with the philosophy that "if it looks wrong, it probably is" Trying to find a rule to support the decision.
IP rule says a player lying on the ground at or before the snap, not after the snap.

If there is ANY explaining necessary, it should be by the coach who allowed such a bonehead effort.
