mick A player acquires a loose ball with one hand and body while kneeling on the floor and the other arm, or hand, on the floor. What can this player really do besides requesting a time-out?
RecRef Start to dribble. Take the other hand off of the floor. This as I do not constitute it as trying to get up.

Nevadaref I'll add that he could: 1. Throw the ball OOB 2. Travel 3. Be fouled 4. Foul another player 5. Commit a technical foul 6. Commit a 5 sec. violation if in the frontcourt 7. Commit a 10 sec. violation if in the backcourt But this is getting silly.
Marty Rogers Originally posted by BktBallRef He can get up. But doesn't he lose possession for a traveling violation?

Doesn't mean he can't do it . . . :-D Something tells me we're now into what he can do per the laws of physics as opposed to what he can do under the rules of basketball.
