First, you should not have a conference unless all you are trying to figure out is how we are going to administer a Technical Foul or how to apply a very specific rule (substitutions, warnings).

The idea of 3 Person is to watch specific areas of the court. You should almost never have all officials looking at the same play. If you do, you are going to miss screens and off ball stuff or secondary defenders.
But the bottom line here, the official made a ruling.
It is not your job to question his/her rulings on judgment calls. That does not matter if that is 2 Person or 3 Person.
