No, it's not "correctable." If one of the other refs saw something different, all he can do is approach the calling official and say what he saw. If the calling official wants to stick with his call, he can do so since he cannot be overruled. If he wants to change, he may do so.
Sounds like this play was awful close, and there's little chance an official is going to stick his nose into a close call like this; especially on a dribbling violation.

Chances are the other refs were doing their jobs and weren't watching the ball.

Nothing like a great camera angle to make fans think they're referees.
I agree their the best at what they do, but that BLOWN call almost cost the Pistons the game. Lets say it did cost them the game, would you keep your same position. I know refs are human, and everyone makes mistakes, but when they make a mistake, anyone can point it out. Whats the difference between a ref making a mistake and a player/coach making a mistake? So because he is an offical, we can't critize him? It was obvious that it wasn't a double dribble (although from where he was he may not have seen it).
