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.

Johnny, is either of the player's feet beyond the vertical plane of line when they're standing behind the line and leaning in?
It might be a good idea to get your local rule interpreter to explain that rule to you.

I do not know. The original post did not state what was leaning in. I only wrote the rule for reference. The rule seems to pertain to feet and not a players upper body.
