PLAYWITHEFFORT-mine is a catcher as well.  Here's the devil's advocate part of this discussion.  What if the high school coach gives the reins to his players?  Who now is in charge?  The pitcher or the catcher?  I could see both having a different plan of action.  My other concern is what about pitch position.  What if you have a pitcher that throws hard?  Me, being a catcher my whole playing career, would like to know is he throwing inside or out?  Putting 1 finger down and knowing a fast ball is coming is ok, but I'd like to know his intentions.   As a catcher, it was my job to take care of the pitcher.  Including taking care of his mistakes, pitches in the dirt, etc.  Is a pitcher really ever in control?  College freshman pitchers didn't get to pitch much shaking off senior catchers.
