I've heard it when trying to deteremine between an offensive foul and a travel, but never in discussion about a defensive foul. If the defense caused the travel with the foul, and you choose the "lesser" of the two offenses, you've screwed the offense.

I ALWAYS pre-game this: If we have an open-hand and closed-fist then we get together and determine which happened first.
