Sure you can, that's why fighting only requires the culprit to attempt to punch someone. Actually landing the punch isn't required.
If I thought the player was intentionally trying to trip an opponent and just missed, I'd seriously consider a flagrant T. At minimum it's a T, and I'm waiting until the offense puts up a shot attempt or backs out of a drive before calling it.
