The question to ask is this: A1 gains control of the ball while on both knees. If A1 moves one of his knees has he traveled?

My thought would be that 2 knees would be equivalent to 2 feet. One could move (i.e. pivot) as long as the other one remained stationary.

Knees are not feet, so the pivot rules do not apply.
