I do the same thing Dan does. I do not say anything at the table to describe the foul. I do not say push or hand check. I just give the signal and tell everyone if we are shooting or not and where the ball will be located. Now I might say more at the spot of the foul, but it is more to let my partner know what is going on and who might be shooting.

Peace

I don't care either, but some people reacted very strongly to the use of the word "offensive" to communicate a foul (which I was assuming meant calling it/saying that at the spot, not at the table)...so by the same logic, at the spot we must call it "Illegal use of the hands" right???

Besides, look at the NFHS Officials Manual or NCAA's CCA 2- or 3-Person Manuals. If the official follows the prescribed mechanics, one does not have to say "on the floor." In fact saying "on the floor" is frowned upon at every camp I have every attended or been a staffer. I do not have my manuals in front of me but I know for a fact that the CCA manuals specifically state the the phrase "on the floor" is not to be used.

The CCA Women's manual says that it's allowed.
