Afaik, a protest in
any ruleset is never allowed unless there is a mis-application or mis-interpretation of a written rule. In your situation, those criteria aren't applicable. Technical fouls are always a judgment to be made by the calling official. Just because that judgment might be considered faulty or suspect doesn't mean that the rules haven't been followed correctly.
That's why I'd doubt that you'd ever see a protest allowed against a judgment call under any ruleset in any sport. You might see an announcement that poor judgment was used, but you won't see any action taken against that poor judgment except maybe trying to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
Again jmo.
