He is right, at least with regards to NFHS rules. Establish LGP and the offensive player has the obligation to go around you. I don't have the rulebook language handy and I don't know how different the NBA is on this from the level I work, but if there is contact and the offensive player initiates it before getting at least his head and shoulders beyond the defender, he is guilty of an offensive foul.
