Why not simply communicate what actually happened? "No shot!" That says it all. No ambiguity. "On the floor" is slang and communicates different things to different people.

One I hear some guys say is "1 and the bonus"....NO! NO! NO!...it's 1 and 1!

For fouls 7, 8 and 9, it actually is one shot and a bonus free throw if they make the first. I agree it's a little "wordier", but it's actually exactly correct (until you hit the 10th foul), and shows some knowledge of basketball history. (A fouled player used to be awarded one free throw on ANY foul. The "and the bonus" was given after the 7th foul of the half.)
