I admit I don't have any patience with someone at the table trying to referee, and I've replaced a couple, but I've never thought about penalizing the team with a technical.
I did see the PA guy at a local D1 university get replaced one night by the referee. The guy used a sarcastic tone when he announced the foul and the reporting official turned around and said something. I don't know what the PA guy said, but BOOM, he quickly tossed the guy. I thought it was cool, but the crowd response was, let's say unfavorable, the rest of the night.
