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.

You must be better than me, if you can predict a future disadvantaged situation...our job is to judge the play at hand, not the play 2 minutes from now.
If the contact did not hinder the shot or the landing, and doesn't fall under rough play, it is incidental contact. 2 minutes from now, we should be applying those exact same things.
