Table personnel agree with lead official that A1’s toes where on the 3 point line. Trail official waves off the 3 point goal and instructs table to change to a 2 point goal for Team A. Team A lost the game by 1 point. Was the correct method applied to wave off the 3 point goal?

If a non-calling official
thinks something other than anyone else whose opinion matters, they do nothing.
My provincial interpreter said this years ago: if they know that an error was made, they should kill the clock immediately, and change the call.
Another approach is to kill the clock, and offer information to the calling official.
These two methods are preferred because the non-calling official can often kill the clock before the ball is live again.
Yet another approach is to let the play go and offer information at the next clock stoppage. This is problematic because you might have a long period of time go by before a clock stoppage.
Ultimately, it could be "when in Rome situation."
