Has anyone else been told the same thing, that a foul tip must be caught cleanly?

No, and by the definition of a foul tip it just states that a foul tip
is a batted ball that goes sharply and directly from the bat to the catcher's
mitt or hand and is legally caught by the catcher. Then go to Rule 2
Section 10 Art 2....
I don't have a rule 2 Section 10 Art 2. Also, the definition of a foul tip says nothing about "sharply". Are you talking ASA or Fed? I'm talking ASA.

I still do not believe this is a foul tip, but I'll have to check with my UIC and adjust my understanding accordingly.

I'm not immune to changing how I call the game, when I've been proven wrong.
