Coaches rule

[CTom]

High school Freshmen game situtation question. Coach A had previously received a direct techinical and has the "seat belt" rule in effect. Under ten seconds left in a close game and Coach A STANDS to call for a time out. Referee grants Time Out and slaps another Techical foul on the coach since he stood up to request the Time Out. Is this 2nd Techincal the proper call? Must the coach now leave the playing area?

Thanks for your replies.

Edited: The ref told the coach he gave him the Technical Foul because he stood up.
