Here's a good question that i had happen in a Nat. tournament this summer. The player dives on the floor and secures the ball. Then sets the ball to the side of him and gets up. One hand on the ball. Is this legal?

Most people, I'm guessing, wouldn't define "sitting up" as "getting on one's knees".

Your play is illegal.
