JR this is totally legal and I this came straight out of the mouth of an SEC official, but he used it in the scenario of a charge.

I am saying in this position you keep your vertical plane because in almost all cases when you set up for a screen or take a charge your legs are always a little further apart than your shoulders and that determines your vertical base or space.

On top of that think of it like a charge if the kid is fixing to take a hit he is aloud to move to absorb emminent contact, hence he will firm up or slightly move to take the hit in the torso.

Why should a kid not be aloud to "firm up" in the case of a screen.

I think I did not explain a "firm up" position well enough but I don't know how to explain you just have to see it. That is how I came to understand what it was.
