100% agree!!! Not being able to follow thru does affect the shot. Why else would coaches at ALL level preach about a great follow thru. Think of how it affects you in golf. It is similar to why a player will change his follow thru to do a different type of shot in golf.

What you are describing is reacting to the pressure of the defender coming at you and not the contact after release.

Once the ball is gone, NOTHING you do or have done to you changes the shot.

The change in the shot is the same as someone yelling during your downswing in golf, you tense up and that changes your shot. If someone yells, "You the man, Tiger!" After the shot, you think that affects the shot?

In a BV game last week, we had two good teams -- one with a nice offense built around picks and jump shots. In the middle of the second quarter, a defender raced at a jump shooter and well after the shot was away, slightly jabbed at the shooter's stomach. He didn't seem to touch much and the shot was away. But it was obvious of the intent and the result.
The second time that happened, the jab was not as subtle and it was an easy call. But, we also warned the offending team that it would continue to be called and the tactic stopped.

It sort of reminds me of the way some teams used to have a defender definitely make contact with a free throw shooter after the first made shot of a 1-and-1...and more than once watch it occur after the first of two free throws.
