This ^^^ Exactly.
I think what's being missed is that the off-official did not rush in and say he had a block, or that the defender didn't have position. He came in an basically spewed forth words that are not found in the rulebook. "We have to have a foul, there's a body on the ground"... is not only untrue, it's NOT a reason to overturn the call.
It's like an official who rushes in to correct a 3 point basket to a 2 by stating that the shooter landed on the wrong side of the line. That's NOT the rule. And neither is his explanation of why to change the call in the OP.
