Technical out in ASA?

[ToledoCYOBlue]

This sitch came up at an adult co-ed game, ASA rules.

R1 on second, two outs. B1 gets a base hit to right. Throw comes in to second. F4 calls "time," but R1 never hesitates around third and comes around to score (no idea why the throw wasn't made to F2).

Anyway, F3 (team captain) complains vigorously to the BU that the defense had requested "time," and that the play should have been stopped. He obviously doesn't know that rule, but apparently somewhere in the conversation, F3 says "That's F***ing stupid, Blue." BU calls a technical out for using the F-word, and says offense now has only one out, rather than two.

I didn't mind this at all, as my team was at-bat, and we went on to score three more runs with two outs. But is this rule legitimate? Reference please?

Love this board...many vets willing to share their knowledge with relatives newbies like myself. Thanks.
