In the future, try to use fewer words when speaking to a coach. For example, "That's enough" will do. Don't bother adding the rest.

Why would your partner ask what the coach said during the game? That's absurd. What would have happened if he didn't agree with you? Would he try to cancel the T? Hopefully, your partner was not very experienced either.

I never ask a partner what someone said or did when my partner issues a technical foul until halftime or after the contest. I really don't care. My partner assessed a technical foul and that's all that matters to me. My job is to help enforce the penalty and get on with the contest.

It is not uncommon to let your partners know what happened to earn a T as part of the typical discussion about what is going to happen next.

It was in a manner of support... it was more like WTF that ******* just say?
