Player that is on the floor

I disagree with most of the Fed rulings here. This has to be a foul UNLESS the player on the floor either 1) just got there or 2) is making a quick attempt to get back up.

How do you define, in your own personal rule book, what "just got there" means?

And in my experience, when a guy ends up on the floor in the key, he is never desperately trying to get up - he is desperately trying not to have any vital organs get trampled on. He has no advantage whatsoever. Now if he reaches up and grabs someone or uses his legs to try and kick or trip someone, then we have a problem with him.
