I agree with Rut, and I really think it's nitpicky to deduct on an evaluation for simply saying, "on the floor" or even "stays here." I've sat courtside in D1 games and heard those exact same terms from NCAA tourney officials. Both terms, especially "on the floor" are communicative and as long as the communication is clear I personally don't see a problem as they can facilitate better dead ball administration than doing nothing. To ding an official on an evaluation for something so, IMO, minor, is myopic because you're losing sight of the whole official (calls, judgement, mechanics, positioning, game management) in the specifics of minor terminology. Granted there are better ways of communicating, and we should all strive for that, but this is really pretty ticky tack, again IMHO.
