Look, Tim's trying to do the right thing, just going about it in a heavy-handed manner. "On the floor" really is not a good expression for an official to use. Primarily b/c it doesn't say what the official wants to say. The official wants to say that there was no shot on the play. But as we all know, you can fouled before going airborne and still complete the throwing motion for goal. So the official should just say "no shot", as Tim proposes.

So I agree that "on the floor" really shouldn't be used. (And if NCAAW really say it's fine, well, that's just one more dumb thing they do, frankly.) And if you want to ding 'em a point for it, I suppose that's up to the evaluator.

But, I don't think you'll get much support for "imposing" this as if it were a career-breaker. There really are more important things, as others have made clear.
