Even with the explanation given, it looks like he was bullied into changing the call by the Toppenish coach. The coach berated him, loudly called him an "idiot" (this was audible from the stands, I had to go back to Flo to confirm what I heard), and then reversed the call. The power dynamic between the ref and the coach feels off here.
Granted, I admit that I might only feel that way because of the way the Toppenish coach carried himself. Shouting "Let's Go! Let's Go!" at the other corner after winning a match in that manner isn't the best look...
