At that point, no more movement is legal except to pivot on whatever part of the body that is on the floor,
which is usually his lower back side.

I'm not sure that even pivoting on "the body part in contact with the floor" is legal. Haven't we discussed this befre? I'm no good at the Google search for this board. I think the thread was titled, " Something Something Pivot Cheek".

I stand corrected and will re-write those soon, to be more precise.

Barry, as I told a coach last night, it takes a big man to admit he's wrong. Even when it's worded "not...absolutely correct" it's a very powerful admission, and buys you a lot of credibility. It also helps your refs improve, when they see that it's not an ego thing to get the rules right, it's just an important part of the job.
