9.01 (d) Each umpire has authority to disqualify any player, coach, manager or substitute for objecting to decisions or for unsportsmanlike conduct or language, and to eject such disqualified person from the playing field. If an umpire disqualifies a player while a play is in progress, the disqualification shall not take effect until no further action is possible in that play.

Agreed for straight OBR, but if a malicious contact rule was added, then you need to know the basis of the rule for the league.
In FED, malicious contact is an immediate dead ball.
As described, this may have been ruled malicious contact, and the possibility exists a dead ball call may have been correct.
Check your league rules.
Just my opinion,
