im only a whitebelt myself so, but i think as long as u have a good grip on one of his legs i dont think it matters too much how high your hand is. if u have control of one of his legs he cant really do much, and once u break open his guard your hands should go outside so u can pull him to you and stack him.

the perpouse of putting his foot up is to make it harder for opponent to get to mount. if u notice in the next picture our instructor dave is pushing his legs down to make way for the mount.
david got his bjj blackbelt from ralph gracie, and was already a blackbelt in judo before that.
