Foul Call

[JRutledge]

It is to some. And yes the ball going in matters to some. Also it is about having a slow whistle, he might have been thinking if the shot was affected by the contact, which would be the appropriate process to decide if a foul actually occured. I know I rarely call a foul without some consideration to what was the result of the contact. The ball might be through the basket before I blow the whistle in some of my calls.

The contact must be judged when it happens. The bounce of the ball on the rim is not an indicator of what is or is not a foul.

I would be slow on the whiste if there were a player dribbling to his basket and was grabbed at about the foul line or in to prevent a layup. On that shot I would delay the whistle. Or also for a T situation on the defense if there were a shot about to happen I would delay the whistle to not take away the advantage of the offensive player.

But no not on a situation described in this thread. You are asking for confrontation if I read this correctly.
