Dan-ref, The game couldn't have been taken away. They won.

Who eventually won is irrelevant. Coach B's team had a possession stolen from them. That's all that matters.

Correct me if I am wrong, Junker did not make the call and was no where near the call to judge right or wrong. All he knows is that coach B doesn't like the call. L Official
learns later in discussion with Junker, "Oops I pooch screwed", the call.
"That is the end of the part to correct." 
You can't stop the game everytime a coach yells. Maybe it is easier to look at like this. All errors are not correctable. The only fix is to get it right the first time, through training, experience, and more experience.

Where does it say Coach B was yelling?
If getting it right the first time is the only way to do this why does the ncaa make their best trained & experienced officials use a monitor to fix calls?

I'm not advocating getting the call wrong--but this doesn't sound to me like a situation where junker should have stopped the game just because coach B wasn't happy.
Obviously getting the call right the first time is the ideal situation, but officials errors are a part of the game. Players & coaches aren't perfect...neither are the stripes.
In the NCAA there are many other pressures that demand that replay be used to "get it right", primarily all the TV cameras that are going to replay over and over any officiating error &/or the great god $$$$$ which rules the NCAA.
