Anyway I got call back from an umpire of 40 plus years who actually knows the rulebook, not a few clowns on a forum who think they know the rule book. He says without seeing the play it sounds like interference under rule 7.09 c. Now I know better to just wait for a callback from a umpire with rulebook knowledge rather than posting to this forum!

I am the one who called time, while the plate ump was walking out to the c slot. He obviously wanted to talk about the play. I did speak first and said I think we have interference, only loud enough for him to hear I told him what I thought, he went with his original call. Like I said just looking for rule clarification, it just did'nt seem like the right call is all I was saying.

Actually, your question was answered to the extent possible given the description given. What I highlighted in red above is indicative of thin skin; not conclusive, mind you, just indicative. You assumed (or just accused without assumption, which makes it worse, IMO) that they didn't know the rule because they couldn't tell from your inadequate description.
