I was wondering the same thing; I see more officials err on the side of not counting a basket than the other way.

Most definitely. There are a lot of fans and coaches (and unfortunately too many officials) that incorrectly deem a foul "on the floor" even though that has nothing to do with the call.

Rationale for calling it that way..."This ain't the NBA!"

Retort: "True, but the rule is virtually the same for both."

Haha yeah...I can and have used this line on a coach. Still doesn't make it easy when a partner comes in gunsablazin' waving off a shot and yelling "on the floor!" on a similar type play...

That's what pregame/halftime/post-games are for.

Me too. Tough when you're working with someone who incorrectly waves one off and then you count one just a few minutes later.
