That "rule" holds primarily in block-charge situations: when both players fall down, a foul has occurred (in most cases): someone is responsible for the contact an there is clearly a disadvantage for the other one.

Last night I had two guys go down and no-called it.

Dribbler, in the paint, cut too close to a stationary defender (not legally guarding, but stationary and facing left-front shoulder of dribbler) and got his left foot tangled up with the defender's left foot.

Both went down. Ball went out of bounds.
The defender was good; I could not bail out the dribbler.
