When playing basketball you see someone take a shot and you yell "that's off". What are other ways/phrases to say?

Airball.......The only thing it is going to hit is the air

Usually you can call out what you think the shot is going to be. For example if a shot is tipped or was taken while being defended well...you can call out "short" so that the rebounders know that the ball will be an airball or barely reach the rim and that the rebound will be closer to the basket.
Also the same applies if you think the ball is shot too hard and will hit the heel of the rim. Calling "long" will let the rebounders know that the ball will be coming off higher and farther away from the basket.
Communication is helpful so that the rebounders know the best place to box out and help secure the rebound.
