This is a great topic, combining And 1's with A/D. Two questions should be answered in this decision. Did the offensive player win the matchup on the scoring play against the defense? If so, did the offensive player get affected by the contact such that he had to alter his shot? If the answer to both is yes, ring it up. If the answer to the second question is no, you can wait to ring it up. That allows you to pass if the ball goes straight through, because the contact may not have been as severe as you thought. Conversely, you may have thought there was minimal contact with the look you had, yet if the shot is clearly affected, you can call the late foul and reward him for beating the defense.
We don;t get them all correct. Patient whistles can help with how we are perceived and aid in game management in these And-1 and A/D situiations. Doing this, you'll rarely hear about a ticky-tack And-1, and have an easy answer to the "late call" complaint.
