I have used it, but only when working FP as a single umpire.

I've heard it HERE a bunch of times. In real life, I've heard it exactly once. And about 20 minutes later I overheard said coach yelling at a board member that my partner was asking the coach to pay him $50 to make calls his way.

Laughing about it now, but was VERY uncomfortable at the time.

That's probably one of the reasons I never actually said it during a game.
