I don't know what you guys who are calling it face guarding are seeing, from such a good video.

Um ... I think your complete misunderstanding of this play is the result of you thinking the player in white was the offense. White is the defense, and the player guilty of faceguarding. Black is offense, and is looking at the ball, and somehow managed to catch it behind White's head.
