One way to "get better at this" is, whether amongst your crew, your group, or your association, to abolish the term "on the floor." That phrase is irrelevant in relation to whether or not the act of shooting had begun prior to the foul.
In your area, work on getting your fellow officials to say "No shot" or "Act of shooting", and, with an understanding of the definition of act of shooting (4-41-1,3), the incidence of depriving the deserved award will lessen significantly over time.
It's working well here. Hope it works well there.
BTW, the FIBA video lesson on this rule ("Act of Shooting") is really very good. Used it in a rules meeting. We could even understand the Canadian language.
