As JRutledge said, it is mostly a tool or method for judgeing the action.
Most fouls depend mostly what the defender does. If the defender is legal and there is contact sufficient for the foul, it must be on the offense. If the defender is not legal and there is sufficient contact for a foul, it is most likely on the defense.
However, there are only a few fouls that can be deterined by watching the offense....pushing off, etc. But all of them can also be detected by watching the defender. If you are watching he offense, you will never know if the defender established legal guarding position or which directly they were moving at the time of contact...all elements that don't apply to the offense.
The only infractios that the offense can commit without the involvement of the defense are OOB, traveling, illegal dribble. Most of these can be seen even when focusin on the D.
