SDS said that the properly equipped statement meant that the catcher had to wear a cup. KF said that it includes anyone who warms up the pitcher, not just the catcher. But he said that is in effect in his association. If he thought it was in effect in all NFHS games then there would be no reason to say "in our association". No one says "in my association the on deck batter must wear a helmet" because it is a standard rule, not a local rule. Adding in my association in front of it makes it sound like a local rule (In my association the pitcher is ejected if he hits 2 batters in one inning.) If Kevin Finnerty wanted to say that his association stresses enforcement of the rule then he should have said that.
