J/R has it exactly right based on the governing law. All three levels define "tag" to include "holding the ball securely and firmly in the hand or glove . . . ." E.g., NCAA 2-Tag. The fielder's dropping of the ball without voluntary release should be considered conclusive proof that he did not hold the ball securely in his glove.
If there are disputes over this, there shouldn't be.
