What can the coaches really say? You admitted that you screwed up. You didn't compound your screw-up by doing something that was wrong rules-wise and that would have ended up pissing one of the coaches off. You did exactly what should be done imo.
Btw, one of the key things to note from Rich's post is the last sentence-i.e. re-starting the game
quickly. That's great advice for all of these types of situations. Make your explanation, and if they want to continue the discussion, tell 'em to see you after the game. Usually, they'll have forgotten about it by then anyway. Get the ball back into play immediately and git-r-done.
