I've also used "white ball" which seems to works better.

So, what is the best way to say it? I don't think that "before the shot" would be any more acceptable than "on the floor".
"No ahot" or "before the shot" works if the ball is released. If it's not released then OOB or "endline" of "sideline" seems to work.

"Spot" or "designated spot" is used during / just before administering a throw-in, not at the time of the foul.
