One of my co-officials says that the defending player can take a step backwards or move his torso to help soften the blow.
Need help with this.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, the situation you are describing is a player control foul, not a team control foul.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. There isn't just one rule you can read that will give you the understanding you are looking for. You would have to read AND understand several rules including Rule 4-7 (Blocking/Charging), Rule 4-23 (Guarding), Rule 10-6 (Contact) and also read the case book plays associatied with those rules.
It depends on several factors including whether the defender had establish legal guarding position and whether or not the offensive player was a dribbler or had become an airborne shooter.
