My interpreter has always said that "on the floor" is NOT proper and we should not say it (no threats attached). I usually communicate to my partner "two shots" (fingers up), or I say "possession" and point to the spot, then run report the foul.

It's Christmas Eve Eve, and look what we are doing-
Talking basketball (guess I have no life).
I'm with nine01c -- I thought it meant where the re-start would happen. Must be a girl thing.

But don't worry Dan, I'm still perusing the board 2 hours a day even though the touchy-feely part of me is screaming, "Cookies!! Candy!! Pretty bows!! Sentimental cards!!" and so on. Maybe the balance is getting better.
