They still have to earn the foul
I have seen just the opposite. When a team needs to foul, the other team, tries to pass around before the defense can get to them. so, many times the fouls are minor contact against the person who no longer has the ball. In these cases, I don't want to reward the defense for making bad plays by giving them the foul, stopping the clock, and perhaps able to make a play later.
Having said that, if the contact is more than just minor, then I call it.
