Could you please be a little more specific on what "so many officials" means? Exactly how many of us officials really do have a lack of understanding of continuous motion? 10%? 40%? 90%? What is the percentage of officials that actually uses the term "on the floor"? 10%? 40%? 90%? And what are you basing your answers on? Special reports? Polls? Other? And also what exactly don't us officials understand about continuous motion? 
We'll probably be able to respond a little bit better after you give us that info.

The essence of my question is how did this term enter the official's vocabulary.
I would expect this would be your cue to expound (from the wealth of knowledge I know you to possess) on the proper rationale for evaluating continuous motion, in terms that a lowly coach could understand.
Strike the reference to 'so many officials' that got your officious dander up. I didn't expect my submission would be parsed as if it were a doctoral thesis.
