My thought is no, because "a dribble starts by pushing, throwing or batting the ball to the floor before the pivot foot is lifted." Since the player is on the ground in a prone position, they are not able to establish a pivot foot, thus they are not able to start a dribble. Is this the correct way to rule/think on this?
Incorrect

Ask yourself this question...is it possible to travel while dribbling the ball? Hint: NFHS basketball rules fundamentals
