Regardless of the answer I can see how it might because I can't say I wouldn't go through mine.

I attended an instructional camp ran by NBA officials this summer. They had a play on video where there is shot block on a lay-up with some contact and no-call. It leads to a fast break the other way, the video is stopped during the fast break and we are asked what the new Lead should be thinking. We finish watching the play and Lead calls an And-1 foul on very little contact on the ensuing lay-up.

The answer to the question to what the new Lead should be thinking was "I can't have a foul for marginal contact on my end." So according to the big boys we should be taking account to what is called on the other end of the court.
