The difference between "ball touches" and "is legally touched" has to do with which one is the active party.
Example: A player is touched by the ball when it bounces off their back when they don't see it coming...or bounces off their leg/foot but it is not a kick.
A player touches the ball when they intentionally make contact with the ball.
