NCAA Last Second Shot Situation Today

66-64 with Red losing. Red comes down and fires up a last second shot in the lane. The official opposite table (Trail I believe, could have been C) has the call, and waves the shot off which ends up going in.

The school in question had dated replay equipment which would only show 1 second at a time and not tenths of a second. When they reviewed the play with 1 second left on the clock, the ball was in the players hand and she was starting her motion to throw up the wild shot (wasn't a regular jumper at all). So needless to say the officials could not tell from the monitor indefinitely if it was off in time but could put the pieces together that it probably was. So they count it and the game is sent to overtime.

Now could they have gone to the original call to wave off the shot as initially indicated by the official opposite table, instead of putting a puzzle together at the monitor???

Thanks
