Yes. I have seen many brake hoses cause a brake caliper or wheel cylinder to not be able to release. The inside lining of the hose cracks loose and acts like a check valve, it lets fluid in but not out.

Motor vehicle brakes are usually hydraulic, which means that the brake pedal is basically a pump. pushing the brake pedal pumps some brake fluid through pipes and hoses out to the brakes at the wheels, activating the brake pads.
