This is just my humble opinion, but I would first like to say your league President is a real piece of work. Somebody in his position should not come to you and reprimand you, thats just insane. Even if you made the worst call in the world, that still is wrong, in my opinion. He should handle that with more tact.

In regards to the play mentioned, as you describe it, I would call the runner out. In regards to the NFHS rule book, rule 8-4-2b states that any runner is out when he does not legally slide and causes illegal contact and/or illegally alters the actions of a fielder in the immediate act of making a play. I reference back to legal slide, rule 2-32-2, citing an illegal slide as: d) the runner slashes or kicks the fielder with either leg (which is a judgment but I believe there was intent there) and most importantly b) the runner's raised leg is higher than the fielder's knee when the fielder is standing
