The rule and casebook is pretty clear on this. It's a violation for offensive players in marked spaces to break the vertical plane of the lane lines or block with their foot only. Other body parts across the planes are OK. The same principal applies to the shooter with the free-throw line and other players with the 3-point line and the free-thow line extended. If a defensive player violates it's of course a delayed violation(closed fist outward) and no call if it goes, a violation and re-try if it does not.
I would reference rules and case book for you as well but I don't have my books with me. Sorry.
Hope this helps.
