"On the floor" is just a term used to communicate that it is not a shooting foul (like using "and one") - it does not imply that the player was on the floor or, in fact, that it is not a shot attempt if the player is still in contact with the floor.
Perhaps this is a better example: A1 drives to the hoop, jump steps, comes down, and leaps into the air for the shot. While in the air, A1 is fouled by B1, and A1 cannot get the shot off. A1 then comes down to the ground, jumps again and hits the basket.
In this case, A1 has traveled, so he/she gets two shots instead of the basket and one shot.
(Okay, maybe that wasn't a better example . . .)
