To nitpick only, if a player shoots, then a shot occured. To say "no shot" isn't as accurate as "on the floor." I personally say "no shot" as well.
If a player throws the ball toward his/her basket after the ball has become dead, then it's not a try. So there's been "no shot".

"On the floor" is irrelevant to whether a player is in the act of shooting when the foul occured. The player can be on the floor and still be in the act of shooting. A player can be airborne and not be in the act of shooting. Stating the player's location is not an accurate reason for counting or cancelling the goal.
