If I thought it was intentional, I would whistle it. Maybe even whistle it as an intentional foul. But if it was simply incidental, no, I wouldn't call it.
Several years ago, this particular kid that I officiated several times had a habit of sticking his foot out to trip a player driving. Simultaneously, he would look up at the shot. After a couple of times, I realized he was doing it intetnionally and I nailed him for it. He wouldn't stop, so I wanred the coach what was happening. Next time = intentional foul.
