The ASA interpretation is as Mike said; met the purpose of the rule, consider any touch (or apparent touch) to have met the requirement.
NFHS depends on your state. Our Georgia softball adminstrator is emphasizing a full touch for the full second, not a "touch and go"; we (Georgia high school umpires) need to enforce the rule as he (EY) is directing.
