The player can't count on you blowing the whistle and must assume you will not. If they can't get the shot off cleanly, they might then choose another option.

The whistle has already been blown. So it's either 1 of 2 things:
1) the whistle was premature, and there was no foul to begin with since the player performed normal offensive movements after contact
2) the player had no intention to shooting
Has nothing to do with being lazy.
