There is no rule saying that a player in a marked lane space can't "lean in". There is no rules basis to ever call a violation for doing so- no matter how far they may be leaning in.

NFHS Rule 9-1-9;
A player occupying a marked lane space may not have either foot beyond the vertical plane of the outside edge of any edge of the space (12 inches by 36 inches) designated by a neutral zone.
Note: The restrictions in Articles 6 through 9 apply until the ball touches the ring or backboard or until the free throw ends.
