The change in the shot is the same as someone yelling during your downswing in golf, you tense up and that changes your shot. If someone yells, "You the man, Tiger!" After the shot, you think that affects the shot?

But the contact can affect the players next shot.
Say the jump shooter shoots and gets hit after the shot and no foul is called. The next time that jump shooter starts to shoot and sees the defender coming at him he might change his shot trying to get it off quicker because in his mind if the player hits his arm, no foul is going to be called.
Sure its mental, but that's a big part of the game with the jump shooter. Its all about rhythm and anything that affects it can change the shot.
