A little extra clarity here, please, because I was told by a partner a few weeks ago that I blew a traveling call on something like this. Amazingly, one of the coaches agreed with him at the time. But I digress.

He said if a player controls while on the ground and his legs are, say, extended in front of himself while sitting up, the player can't rock back and forth (i.e. cheek-to-cheek) while looking from side-to-side for an open teammate. He wasn't going anywhere and he didn't flip from back to front. While I was awaiting further development, partner activated the Fox 40.

What's the interp here? If I was wrong, great, I learned something. But Nevada, you seem to have given me retro-insight here, unless I read you wrong.
