This is a great line that I use a couple of times a year.

I agree, but to take it up a level & not have that conversation with the coach at all, I've started saying it at the spot. "Before white had team control, timeout blue."

No reason to lie here. Just say you screwed up and move on. As mistakes go, this is truly minor.

Lying about it when everyone knows better just makes you look dishonest.

Edit: Didn't mean to imply you recommend lying or do it. Just getting back to the OP. This one isn't one to lose sleep over.
