Would you call a foul if it will give disadvantage to the team fouled?

It is all about the intent and purpose along with the definition of a foul:

what if the pass happens around the same moment as the impact and:

1.The pass was smooth & successful to the open man
2.The pass was totally off and went out of bounds/turnover

would you have called it differently under the 2 scenarios.
