I squatted (actaully lifted the weight on the bar, not a conversion table) 450 during the summer between my sophomore and junior year in high school. And, yes, the coaches routinely said that I had the best squat form they'd seen in a long time. I'd guess that it's much harder to squat with bad form assuming you go parallel.
it would be hard no squat that much WITHOUT good form. your back would let you know the next day. going parallel i could see, but now a days any weight room that is worth a crap has adjustment bars you set to indicate when you reach parallel
