If she were laying on her back, or sitting on her butt, or prone on her side, it would be legal for her to start a dribble and then rise up.

Absolutely agree, but she did none of those in the video, so those situations were not broached.

It's always legal to dribble and then stand up or sit down or roll over, so I don't know why everybody needed to agree that if she's on her knees it's legal for her to dribble and then stand up.

That is not something we needed confirmation for.

Because it was the one thing that we could all agree on, for the obvious reasons as stated by Raymond.

Everything else was less obvious.

If that was the conclusion of that conversation, it was a very fruitful.

I had a discussion with my neighbor yesterday about climate change and we agreed that the earth revolves around the sun.

Which is why the conversation wasn't very fruitful, which was my point.

We also agreed that a basketball is inflated and is not stuffed.

Nitpicking, but not true. The Earth and the Sun both revolve around the barycenter (center of mass) between them.

But I do understand your point.

Perhaps my point (a lack of agreement on the actual call) was too subtle.

Merry Christmas.

Here’s a solution for the NFHS, adopt the NBA rule and allow players to stand up. Any rule that rewards hustle and means less whistles is good in my eyes.
