I see that one usually after there's a fair amount of contact before the defensive team gets the rebound. I think the idea is that it supposed to show that nobody gained any advantage with the contact and just keep on a-playing. Iow it's basically a message being sent to the other team's coach and maybe to some players on the floor who might want to complain about being fouled. Nothing there...let's move on.
That's my take on it anyhow......
