Set - Both feet on the playing floor.
Square - Feet and shoulders facing the offensive player.
Feel free to correct me if.

OK,you're corrected.You're calling it completely wrong.There is NO requirement for a defensive player to be "set" or "square",as per your description above.What you are looking for is to make sure that the defender actually establishes a legal guarding position before the contact.
See NHHS rule 4-23-3. After the defender has obtained a legal guarding position,there is no obligation for him to be set or square when the contact occurs.
