Actually, I think that you probably can blame some veteran NBA official back in prehistoric times- back in the late 50's and 60's. It's been around for a while. I can remember watching NBA games live when I was a teenager and hearing veteran officials like Joe Gushue and Mendy Rudolph using the term on court.
