Not only does lead need to do these things, he needs to let his partner know that he has done so -- usually by body language / positioning relative to the play. That's all "square-up" means.

I like the way the heart of the matter is avoided, square up and you cut your vision. Cut your vision and you say "I didn't see it" time and time again. You do need body language or something like that but "squaring up" isn't body language it is something that can be detrimental to the mechanics of the game. Sort of like saying "I will bail out so you know I'm trying to get down court." What about the officiatin you just left behind when you bail out or "square up?"
