Stop trying to remain standing when throwing in sparring?

General Training

In nagekomi we throw and remain standing after the throw is executed. But in comp it seems like most throws involve the tori rolling through at the end of landing on their opponent.

I think when I'm doing randori and go for a throw, in my mind I'm trying to emulate nagekomi and remain in a standing position.

Should I instead adopt the mindset of fully committing my body to either landing on uke (in a safe manner of course) or rolling through the throw?
