Sliding on the floor with the ball isn't traveling??? If that's true, then pretty much EVERY announcer should be made aware of that.
That wasn't a choice, but that would have been my call here based on the description.
Not over and back because ball and body were never both fully across line.
Really not sure if the rump on the floor equals two feet or not, but I'd lean towards yes, and say no call.
