If that weren't true, you'd never have an "and 1". You just wouldn't call a foul every time the ball went in.

In that case, I'd suggest that this entire debate is more about semantics than practical play calling.
I don't think anyone was suggesting passing on any/all contact just because the ball went in...just contact that was merely suspect.
If someone gets hammered, I'd hope everyone would have a call, even if the shot is made.
And I can't see using that much delay on a 3...this is more applicable in an interior situation.
