Traveling refresher

[Amesman]

And just to clarify (focusing on the "no longer sliding" in red from Billy), if a player dives after a ball, grabs said orb and doesn't like the chest burn he/she is getting -- while momentum continues to glide this person across the floor -- he/she may "rotate"/twist on to the buttocks before coming to a stop and THEN faces the no-rollover restrictions, right?

Seems this is actually a fairly common occurrence for this scenario (diving, possessing, twisting so as to be sitting for better view/passing opportunities).

Yep.

I asked an official I respect about situations like this and he said "reward good play and penalize bad play".

Don't fully know what that means, but maybe it will help someone trying to understand this play.

Honestly, it sounds like a quote from someone who doesn't want to look up the rule.

Or, want to just not call anything unless they're forced to....which is really not good for the game.

Let him try that one with his supervisor, especially if he works college ball. I don't think his supervisor will be too happy.

Suggest you find different official to respect.

I talked to him the other day and he clarified it for me. Of course he calls the game by the rules....but this is one thing that helps him with the gray area plays and overall game management.
