No, officials showed not verbally spar with fans. For that matter fans shouldn't verbal spar with officials either, but what are you going to do?
From your description, it would appear that the 3 second call was in error. All of the T's seem deserved. An official making a mistake does not give anyone carte blanche to be unsportsmanlike.
I don't see anything here particularly important other than a tired official at the end of a long day.
