We can go back and forth on this for ever. You believe what you want.

I was a point guard in high school and shooting guard in college. I can tell you that once the ball leaves your hand, the
contact DOESN'T change the outcome at all. ~ I was hit in the forearm many times in college and it was rarely called. Guess what, I usually new before I was touched whether or not it was going in or not..........and the contact didn't affect the result.
What does change the shot, is that we shooters will either: rush the shot or flick the wrist rather than smoothly following through to make sure the shot doesn't get blocked. The moral of the story is to take a normal shot, follow through properly and if it gets blocked then you weren't open enough to shoot. If you get fouled, you have a great chance at a 4-point play!
