"On the floor" is fanboy and wreck league talk.

Odd then that it continues in the vernacular of a LOT of referees.
Judgmental much?

And more often than not, those referees aren't working high-level games. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.

Judgmental? Find me a camp that teaches officials that it's acceptable to say "on the floor."

Camps I attend only care about that verbiage when the rule is being kicked. If the official making that ruling is correct, then observers/supervisors don't care.

I'm assuming you are referencing experiences at college level camps.

I only use "on the floor", "over the back" and "reach" when I'm putting the moves on a hot mom.

Unfortunately, they usually reply that I have "no shot".

Even when you do get a shot, it turns out you have a broken possession arrow.

Could be worse...you could end up with an interrupted dribble.

Any camp I've ever been to, clinicians most certainly care about an official saying "on the floor." But you and I go to different types of camps I'm sure.

How would you even know this? What does different types of camps mean?

Because I've been to my fair share of camps and not one clinician that I remember has failed to correct an official using "on the floor"?

All I'm saying is that judgements and generalizations do not help anyone. But forgive me for not remembering that a few guys on here are the best referees ever and have never messed anything up and can only be bothered to leave the house to work Duke vs Carolina.

In my very humble opinion, you could use a very real dose of humility. If you read my post, I stated I was aware that I needed to try to get rid of the statement and simply asked what some of the other phrases were that guys used. Nobody needs you to imply they are a lesser official or a fanboy. But I'll wear that mantle proudly. It's why I'm here. Trying to get better and hell yes I'm a fan. I love this game, it's one of the reasons I call.

Don't be ridiculous. This is a forum for grown adults who often have differing opinions. I didn't bully you, or call you a fanboy. But yes, often fanboys are the ones yelling "on the floor." And I'm only a high school official, and I'm not afraid to admit it, so you can take your Duke-UNC comment elsewhere.

Don't attack my humility because you got butthurt about me making a statement that upset you.

Didn't call me a fanboy? Weird how that is exactly what you did and now deny it.

If you don't like the verbiage, I was looking for input on what words you use, not to be insulted. I'm not butthurt, but I'm not going to be chastised either.

Contrary to popular belief around here at times, it's pretty easy to not be a jerk when replying
