WRT made shots, you're right, but the concept comes into play with contact (note I didn't say foul) on the drive before the shot. If A1 is driving past B1 and B1 bumps him off his path a little (but not enough to negatively affect the drive), calling the foul does hurt A. If it slows A1 down enough for B2 to catch up to the shot, that's when a patient but confident whistle is helpful.
