Actually, if his back or side is to the basket, the count starts. Basically, he has to be facing the basket. It's also the first time that I've ever seen it called. It appeared to me that the officials were specifically looking for a possible violation by Rice. Ed F. Rush started the count immediately.
However, I have seen isolation called on the offense before. If Carter was isolated on one side of the floor and at least 3 teammates are positioned above the tip of the circle on the weakside, it's a violation.
