I see that you've been an FLL ref, but unless you have been an FRC ref, I would suggest not claiming what is or isn't done.

OP -- From your description of the events, I think you are right in that the call shouldn't have been a red card (also I have no idea how YC + Foul = RC, that's new to me ) As far as putting processes in place to help refs and head refs to make the right calls accurately in a split second, well that's a dead horse that's been beaten over and over. The other aspect of it, changing a bad call after the fact, I've seen calls changed plenty of times before, but most often it has to do with what the refs see/say more so than the teams view/opinion. It's not a perfect system by any means
