So by the player rolling from side to sitting would be considered a violation.

I guess there's a difference between CAN and SHOULD. One question - what part of rolling from side to sitting are you including in "attempt to get up or stand"?

As I understand it, If one is touching the floor with anything other than hand or foot. The options are to either call a time, shoot, pass or start a dribble from that specific position.

In that case, "attempt to get up"

If you are on your back, you can bend at the waist to an upright sitting position and that is not considered getting up.

rwest,

I am aware of that. Thanks for poking me in the eye even more.
