clear it up

I had established my position well in front of the basket. 2nd, I was standing straight up with my hands in the air. 3rd. I was there at least 6-8 steps before the ball handler would have reached me. The ball handler clipped me. If you were to draw a line down my middle from head to crotch he would have clipped my whole right side and sent me flying to the floor. the official explained to me that I cannot just stand there and allow the ball handler to hit me, that is a block. He further explained that I DID NOT move my hips out to create contact nor did I use any other body part to create contact, it was the fact that I just stood there and allowed contact. Obviously I cannot just go to him and call him on a bad call I need some kind of written proof of rules in order to have them change the way they call that foul.
