With player's shorts so long these days...(many times the shorts are below the knees)
Maybe the rule means compression shorts have to be above the knee AND compression shorts (undergarments) cannot extend below the shorts.?????

This is my understanding. Frankly, they're undergarments until someone in authority (either local, IAABO, state, or NFHS) tells me otherwise. They're typically worn as undergarments, and overthinking the sentence structure from the NFHS is never wise, IMO. They're never that precise.
Frankly, I've never had an issue in an actual game with this.
