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.

And the contact may have completely altered the shot and the shooter made a good play to get it off anyway and score. And you(and others) now want to penalize the shooter by ignoring the foul.
Too much thinking. Just call the damn game.
