It's about saying too much to a coach.
I didn't see a question in the OP. I'm guessing the coach was hollering for 3-seconds. Why even have the conversation? Simply let him go on thinking you missed it and keep the game going.
If he asks the question politely, tell him you didn't have him in there too long and that you'll look for it in the future. Then don't change anything.

Thanks to everyone for your replies.
The coach did complain and I tried to explain.
If the kid had been taller to box off or get a rebound, I would have called it. this kid was under 100 pounds and short. He was up against 3 players from the other team that were about 6' tall and over 160 pounds.
My point was to keep the game flowing.
Coach was upset because the other team had made a run and caught up. That's really what it was.
