grinding to reverse

[_MATiC]

one of my buddies asked me a good question that i didnt know the answer to..he has a 95 GT, all stock, T5..when he goes to turn on his car, and put her in reverse, it grinds..so he puts it in first, then without letting off the clutch, he puts it in reverse with no problem...now i know it's not too much of a hassle diong that, but what causes this problem?

Reverse gear does not have synchro's
It grinds because the input shaft is spinning at a different speed
