I am a little confused. What exactly are you asking? Are you asking just about the words "on the floor?" Or are you asking about the entire sequence of actions you described?

Depending on where you live or who you work for the term "on the floor" might not be acceptable. Now it does not matter to me what you say as long as you get the call right. I think most of the time officials do not properly award FTs for fouls when players are clearly shooting the ball (just because they shooter did not leave the floor when fouled).

I think instead of saying "on the floor" officials should just say "no shot" and wave off the basket as listed in the back of the rulebook.

Peace
