Thanks crew for NCAA rule on that. I see way to many officials that I have observed or work with that call plays going to the basket/rim "on the floor" and instead they should be 2 shot foul.
It is a shooting foul when the player begins any motion at all that precedes the eventual shooting of the ball. Therefore when a player picks up his dribble and takes his steps to the basket, those plays where arm hits occur as he habitually makes his motion to the basket should be ruled 2 shot fouls and not "on the floor."
This is another good discussion here that I think we, in general, sometimes miss and put the ball sideout or on the endline too much, in my humble and HONEST opinion.
