Second opinion on Xray - was it reasonable to attempt RCT+Crown?

Long story short - I had a painful tooth. On Xray it appeared there was decay under an existing filling. Dr recommended RCT + crown. Did it yesterday - this morning the temporary crown came out. When I went in to reattach it - they said there was not enough tooth structure left to attach a crown -I would need an implant.
I asked for my Xrays - looking at the X rays I wonder why they attempted it yesterday (without mentioning anything to me about being risky - or likely to fail).
What do you guys think?
