The bigger question is how out of control was your coach in yelling at the ref to get a T at that point of the game over a foul called on an opponent?
Referees have authority to call technicals while the game is under their jurisdiction which ends only when the officials leave the visual confines of the court after the game.
I actually heard a story from about a tournament this past winter where Team A seemingly beat Team B by 1 point, and A1 in celebration grabbed the rim and did some sort of celebration, the officials were still there and charged A1 with a technical foul, B1 made both free throws and team B won the game. Not the cleanest way to end a game to say the least, but correct strictly by the book.
