It sounds like you did fine Junker. As I understand the situation, the official right next to the ball made a call. You did not see enough to determine the accuracy of the call. After the fact, the other official describes what happened and the two of you realizes the call was screwed up.

Coaches yell alot. Don't stop the game everytime.
Each posession is potentially worth 2 or 3 points (without a foul). If you wouldn't stop the game with 6 minutes left in the first half to debate a call, don't stop the game for the same call with 6 seconds left.

Dan_ref as a coach, if you don't let the game get to overtime because of your frustration, you have taken the game away from 6th graders. How stupid is that! It is a game the girls had a chance to win and did because their coach was smarter than that.

Sam, I think the game was already taken away by the guys who let an obviously bad OOB call stand.

Dan-ref,
Preface:
I don't have an NCAA book here, but I will type now and verify later.
End of Preface

NCAA doesn't allow for officials to determine posession via the monitor. Only whether a shot was released before the horn sounded at the end of a half or game.

Stick to your quote, you said the game was taken away.

The game is not interupted each time the opposing teams or coaches both think the ball should be theirs or that a foul was missed. Officials miss calls sometimes. Coaches and players have to live with it.
With training and experience officials make less mistakes but still do mistakes. The problem is you don't when those mistakes occur. You don't stop the game each time a whistle blows and check for accuracy.
