I can see admitting to a mistake if there is an aggregious gaffe such as the one mentioned in the post above. The only way you are getting out of that pickle is by telling the coach, "Hey Coach, I kicked it." What else can you say in a situation like that?
If its judgement, I will never agree to admitting to a mistake on the field. I have only done so only once. I was in the press box following a tournament game where I kicked a rule where I apologized to the coach.
Very sparingly, only when rules are in question and you have a serious mental gaffe.
