I agree with mcrowder, Fess up and go on. If they want to be jerks and question every call, you can put a stop to it. Most often that is the end of an arguement. Also I think it does add to your credibility for the future. I have had to fess up to a mental mistake which was huge, nothing I could do to change it but it was my fault. I took the heat. a couple years later with the same coach he came out to argue something, and the conversation leaned toward was I mistaken, I simply said you know if I was wrong I would tell you I made a mistake, he stopped looked at me then said "yup you're right you would have." then turned and left end of problem.
