I think that what you suggest overly favors the offense.
A team (and player) may have fouls to 'use', and not just as the game winds down. A defensive player may make a decision to take a chance that has, as an upside, either getting the ball or fouling - where fouling takes away an easy scoring opportunity. A defensive player should not have to foul extraordinarily hard (risking an intentional foul) to get a call.

So, you're going to reward a defensive player who is out of position by calling contact that, by definition, isn't a foul? If there's no advantage gained, where's the foul? By calling a foul when there isn't one, you're actually creating an advantage for the defense that isn't in the rules.
