I think it's kind of lame to suspend you, although there may be rules in your league about who can and cannot pull a team off the court, so to speak. Some leagues forbid the coach from doing this, to prevent teams who are losing badly from simply packing it in (like you did).

If your assc. wanted to be nice about it, they could probably forego a suspension, as it sounds like neither the officials nor the other team had a problem with it. But I believe the rules could be used to technically justify suspending you (for "making a travesty of a game" or something like that).

Normally, if a game is forfeited during play, it is supposed to reflect BADLY on the team that forfeits, no?
