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."

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

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