CR for Sub Catcher?
Sitch: HS varsity game under NFHS rules. Visiting team batting in the top of the fourth, already leading by a lot. Visiting head coach announces a sub for his starting catcher. The sub bats and walks. Then visiting coach announces a Courtesy Runner for the new catcher.
Illegal? Or am I reading the rule wrong about the pitcher and catcher who last physically played the positions are the ones that may be run for by a CR?

8-9 Art 2. In the top of the first inning only the pitcher and catcher are identified as those players listed on the lineup as the pitcher and catcher...... Thereafter the pitcher and catcher are identfied as the last players who physically played that position on defense. The pitcher or catcher must bat and reach base legally (or earn their way on base) in order to be eligible for a courtesy runner.
