Is there a rule?

First inning and close play at third base. Field umpire calls the runner out. Third base coach not happy with the call but he is not going crazy. Play is stopped. No other runners on base. Third base coach calls for "time out" to the field umpire who refuses. The coach yells I can call time out and discuss the play. Field umpire says no you can't. Third base coach goes to home plate umpire to ask for his help and he tells him the field umpire told him he couldn't call time out about that play and then proceeded to throw the coach out. Then the coach went crazy.

My question is this: Is there a rule where an umpire can refuse a time out for the coach to address the umpire(s)? This was a 12U travel league playing High school rules. However, we play different rules(high school, USSSA, MLB) based on the tournament.
