what is "on the floor"?

[RefRx]

I think I understand why you want to be "by the book" as an evaluator but have to agree with many here that you probably have a lot more important issues to deal with in your organization than some excess verbage. If the correct mechanics are used (ie by the book) they inform your partner, coach, player etc that you are going to shoot or be OOB so verbage is somewhat redundant. On the other hand it certainly helps when selling a call at certain times during the game. If they use "on the floor" for each time a player is fouled it certainly would not be useful. Working with the younger members to be mechanically perfect is certainly going to be less frustrating for you. I would think you should be more concerned with a correct call and the proper interpretation of what is "in the act of shooting".
