Fitzpatrick of PBUC agrees with Evans - and me. Tag of a base is NOT the same as tag of a runner.
This is one of the times when the NHFS is out in front. (2-24-2)
See BRD section 483 for the full story.

But Evans said "Unlike a catch, a legal tag is based on the status of the ball at the time the runner or base is touched and not on the final proof of possession." This was under the definition for TAG, which included touching a base while holding the ball, or touching a runner with the ball or glove holding the ball.
