Stomach to Knees Traveling?
A1 is laying on his stomach, and he pushes himself to his knees. His knees were in contact with the floor the whole time.
Traveling? Where did you find it? If the answer is yes, then it raises another question: why would a player be allowed to go from his back to his rear end and not be allowed to go from his front to his knees? Thanks |

Going from flat on the stomach to the knees sounds like part of an attempt to stand up.

That's what I was told, but in the situation I'm thinking of the player just gets to his knees and stays there, perhaps looking to pass...

A player holding the ball: After gaining control while on the floor and touching with other than hand or foot, may not attempt to get up or stand. When he goes from his belly to his knees, he has gotten up and he's traveled.

Getting up to your knees is not mentioned in the list of things you can do once you stop sliding. Pass,shoot,start a dribble or calla timeout. you may not roll over, if flat onl your back you may sit up. So I would say once you are on your stomach starting a dribble is the only way you can get off you belly with the ball in your control.

Yes. It's easier to pass when sitting as opposed to lying down, so the rules create an exception for sitting up, which can also be part of "getting up."

It's even harder to pass lying on your stomach. Why didn't they create the exception for that?

The didn't need to. You can roll to your side and pass, as long as you don't roll over.

Because the body naturally bends forward, not backwards, at the waist. Didn't you study anatomy in 9th grade PE/Health?

That's probably the best item everyone here should take from this thread.
