Sliding on the floor -- NCAA-M

[Eastshire]

Rolling while sliding is allowed by exception.

For example, if you find a sign that says "No Parking After 5 PM," it is clear that parking is allowed before 5 PM. Otherwise the sign would simple say "No Parking."

Here we have a sign that says "No Rolling After Sliding Has Stopped." So clearly rolling while sliding is allowed or the sign would say "No Rolling."

If that's all the sign said you'd be safe to park there before 5. BUT, if it also said "parking permissible Monday, Wednesday and Friday."...and you parked there before 5, on Tuesday,...you'd get towed.

Again, if momentum causes rolling I'm good with it because of spirit of rules and NCAA interp. Not because of the wording of that play.
