I actually said it on purpose because many officials do call it on the ground/floor. You make a good point though because that is exactly the problem.

For those of you who say the girl was not in the act of shooting, can you explain why? I'm not so sure either way because the shot was awkward. The question I have is was she gathering the ball. From the camera angle, I can't tell for sure, but I think it is very close.
