Batter's Interference on Catchers Throw

NFHS rules...Georgia high school...

Had a conversation with an umpire the other night and he said for a batter to interfere with a catchers throw on a steal attempt that physical contact was neccessary under Georgia high school rules. Specifically, we were talking about how hitters will fall towards the plate after a swing into fair territory...he also said that if one foot was still in the box interference would not be called. He said he could show me in the interpretations that contact had to take place.

Is this true nationally, just in Georgia or was he full of hot air?
