On The Floor Is The Appropriate Description Here ...

how many times do players fall and then just lay there? they're typically trying to protect themselves (cover up), or moving arms and legs, or attempting to get up. so, if they're doing any of these is it still a non-foul?

Depends. If they were on their feet and moving an equivalent amount, would you have a foul or a train-wreck (incidental contact)?
