I think it is necessary to consider the action of the defender, prior to the contact, to determine if it is a foul. If the defender comes from a long way away, aggressively, with little concern about injuring the shooter (should contact be considerable) and flailing arms everywhere, I will call a foul when contact is made after the shot has been released.
An out of control defender would be a diferent situation and the contact would usually be significant - therefore having an effect on the shot or be a foul in and of itself after the try.
