I went to a camp last summer where the "on the floor" discussion took place. Assignors told us to never say, "on the floor," for the reasons the coach gave. Instead, if you're waving a shot off, say, "no shot."
Every foul takes place on the floor

You've never had an airborne shooter fouled?

I've had the same "no shot" conversation at camps before. I don't have to to have the conversation with a coach when I call a foul on his kid when the other player was "on the floor" but in the act of shooting.

Coach, if your comments were as you say (during dead ball situations and discussed between you and the ref ONLY) then you and I would have probably had a fun game. Since so few coaches choose to communicate like that, many refs will automatically assume you to be a smartax and ignore you. I don't mind a little conversation with a coach so long as it doesn't interfer with what I'm there to do.
