If he is going to be stupid enough to argue this and he probably had the benefit of replay, then he deserved to be ejected.
That being said I am shocked that the umpire did not ask for some proof he had the ball at the very least. I can see how he might have missed the actual catch, but thing it is inexcusable to not ask a basic question, "Where is the ball?" He did not have to ask the player this, just himself.
