"Must have been a Fed baseball umpire. In Fed baseball a foul tip can be caught by any fielder. (I've never seen it happen.)
Roger Greene,

Where did you find this rule? Certainly not in the 2001 Fed Softball book. 2.8.2.d. States the ball must be caught by the catcher to be a foul tip. CASE BOOK 2.8.2 SITUATION A States the same thing. 2.8.2. SITUATION D States if another fielder catches the ball, it is not a foul tip, but is a foul ball.
In FED baseball, the ball may be caught by a fielder after rebounding from the catcher's hand s. 2.16.2.
Don't get the two books confused. They are different in many ways.
