At the risk of coming across as too critical....

For someone so young he can't find the enter key while he's typing or make a decent sentence structure, I'm guessing mid-30s would also qualify as "older." Or maybe it's just old.

Two points...

1. If the play happened as you said it did, that wouldn't count under NBA rules (which I'm assuming was what you were referencing by "continuation calls")

2. Avoid using "on the floor." The fact that the foul happened while the player was on the floor has no bearing on whether a foul is a shooting foul or not. It's all about the habitual shooting motion. If something must be said, "before the shot" would be better.

Agree. These three words should never be used by officials in describing a continuation play and the act of shooting.

I prefer, "No shot".

I use "No shot" as well and wave off the shot before giving the preliminary signal for the foul followed by the throw-in spot or signal how many shots we're shooting for the bonus.

I'll use this too along with the mechanics zm1283 described...the important thing is getting rid of the phrase, "on the floor."

Well, there usually is a shot. So, I say "before the shot."
