Requiring a throat guard does not mean that you must attach a dangling throat guard to your mask. Throat protectors are already required for catchers, but that doesn't mean they have to wear a dangling throat guard, rather it means that they must have some sort of throat protection. NFHS says "The throat protector, which is either part of or attached to the mask, must "adequatly" protect."
