Absolutely no doubt in my mind that you did the right thing. I started officiating in a recreational basketball league when I was 14 years old, and throughout they taught us that any racial/ethnic slurs or bad language of any type was worthy of a technical, as well as all bad sportsmanship in general. I would be weary of working in a youth league that does place good sportsmanship as a top priority, and also one that doesn't support their officials for making an obvious call such as that. I can't believe that they really told you not to give out T's and/or not to promote good sportsmanship. That absolutely blows my mind.
