This phrase comes from the basketball game. In basketball, if a player commits a transgression that doesn’t affect the outcome of the game, the referee should not call a foul against that player. The term was first described in 1956 in the Hartford Courant newspaper. After years this phrase was applied to situations outside basketball. By the early 1970s, "no harm no foul" was being applied to legal situations. It is also said that this phrase is derived from the term "no blood no foul", which is a common phrase in the American streetball of the 1950s.
