How is legal guarding position obtained initially ?

To obtain an initial legal guarding position:
b. The front of the guard’s torso must be facing the opponent.


B5 did nothing more than face the basket to get a possible rebound and ended up bloodied, sprawled on the basket stanchion. There has to be a simple rule to make this illegal? Right?

Can that simple rule be this: Every player is entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first
without illegally contacting an opponent.


Can it be that simple?
