Who told you that one? If you move your upper body over to one side so that the contact was outside of the normal vertical plane of the screener, then it's an illegal screen. Even in the .......wait for it......SEC.

"Firm up" is a phrase I first heard from an NBA ref. Since the SEC is assigned by Mr. Guthrie, and he implements a lot of NBA philosophies at his camps, I would not be surprised if the SEC officials allow a player to shift their weight to one side (but not
outside) of their vertical plane. This is -- I
think -- what is meant by "firming up".
