Quite honestly Coach, when I'm working, I'm concentrating on what's happening on the floor. I'm not thinking about what you're asking or saying, especially if the ball is still live and you're talking. So I'm more likely to say, "On the floor," as opposed to "The player had not yet begun his shooting motion." Further, I'm not going to attempt to explain the rule or terminology, especially when I figure the coach won't know what i'm talking about.
Take for example the three coaches who erupted yesterday when the throw-in pass went off A1, into the BC, where she then retrieved it. Or possibly the coach who wanted traveling called when a player fell down while dribbling. It's just a waste of breath to try and give an informed answer, especially while play continues.
