This was a play to end the second quarter, not a last second, game-deciding shot. However, if it was that situation, in both two and three man mechanics, the final decision is the responsibility of the Referee (if there is a disagreement or the timer has to be consulted). This would usually occur after the refs have conferenced, shared information, and the responsible ump disagrees with the Ref.
So, even if the Ref is the guy about to "blow" the call, the ump(s) can offer info, but the Ref has the final say.
The situation is described in NFHS Basketball Officials Manual in the Basic Procedures and Mechanics sections (two and three officials).
