Setting the ball down on the floor and getting up is legal as long as one doesn't subsequently touch the ball? Correct?
That's how I would interpret and apply that case book play, if it ever happens in my game (probability of occurring: super low. But I'll be ready, just the same).

I find it odd that Ms. Atkinson, as the NFHS rule editor, misapplied this casebook interpretation with her "sloppy" language. Makes we wonder what else in her email was misapplied. Was she just ruling on the legality of starting dribble from the floor, with no regard as to how the player on the floor got upright to her knees? The late ruling of the official in the video complicates the video, it appears he's ruling that the start of the dribble from the floor was illegal, which it isn't, is that what she was referring to as legal, and not the prior possibility of a travel?

Exactly! This is my thought. Well, Did a google search.Now I have other thoughts. As a rules editor, do you think passing the exam is part of the job description?

Ms. Atkinson has only been the new NFHS basketball rules editor for a few months.
If her email reply is any indication of the future, we're in for a bumpy ride.
Hold on for dear life.
Only time will tell.
