If somehow it actually is best not to call a foul when someone is
fouling you, then I'd question the need to play with this person at
all.  I say to bring it out into the light, right there on the field;
not just keep it between you and the obstinate defender.  Presumably
there were at least 12 other people there.  What did they have to say
about putting arms in someone's back while cutting?  If everyone else
won't have it, and no one backs you, then you're in the wrong crowd. 
Stick to people who don't refuse to honor calls and play fair.  Either
that, or be obstinate right back, because you have to stick to your
calls, unless you prefer playing and getting fouled.
