Harlem Globetrotters vs. Washington Generals. Generals point guard Red Klotzman, the best set shot shooter ever to play the game is fouled while in the act of shooting a set shot. (Point of information: When a player shoots a set shot, his feet never leave the court.)

QUESTION: If you are the official calling the foul, would you say "on the floor?"
