This seems to be a classic example of that rule, if my memory serves me correctly.

Player control foul.

I think I know what you're saying, but you'd always be facing the opponents torso if you're facing them at all. I think you mean to say you can face any side of the offensive player's torso, not just the front of the opponent's torso. It may have been clarified recently, but the direction the offensive player faces has never been a factor.
