Let me say it another way, 99% of the time I see it used, it's used as a sort of rebuttal against advantage/disadvantage concepts. As in, "You can't apply advantage, because a foul is a foul."

When I hear it from coaches, it's after I let incidental contact go uncalled. Maybe your experience is different, though. We're just explaining why some officials around here flinch when we hear the phrase.
