Coaches should only be on a need to know basis when it comes to time. It would be in your best interest to tell them how much time left only if they ask.
Other than that, I would chalk it up to a learning experience and know that when you are calling a higher venue of ball, more will be expected and required from you.......

Even if you make a mistake, there's no justification for being disrespected by a coach. We're human, we make mistakes. There's no reason for him to criticize you in this fashion.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
