To nitpick only, if a player shoots, then a shot occured. To say "no shot" isn't as accurate as "on the floor." I personally say "no shot" as well.

If a player throws the ball toward his/her basket after the ball has become dead, then it's not a try. So there's been "no shot".

If a player shoots the ball, it may not be a try, but it is still a shot at the basket. Just b/c its after the whistle has blown doesn't change that fact. I was just pointing out that it is kind of an incorrect description and that "on the floor" or just "floor" might be better.

I'm also arguing just to argue now. Sorry. Have a great day!
