As I wrote before, I ruled that the contact with the glove after the initial tag was interference with the tag itself, and R1 was out. If I'm wrong, I am OK with that, and I'll work to do better on the "big bucks" aspect of the game next time.
It is an out if IMJ the player had possession and securely held the ball at the time of the tag.

I know what the definition of a tag out is for NFHS, but IMO is too vague. According to the definition, F6 could tag out a runner at 2nd, and in an effort to leave the area trip/fall and lose control of the ball and that would negate the tag out.

If you can find a case play stating otherwise, I would love to know as I cannot find one
