It's not an automatic block. Just because a player has a foot on a line doesn't give a ball handler the a-ok to slam into them just to get a foul. This isn't how LGP work.
What the case book play does say is two things.
1) You can't initially obtain LGP with a foot on the lane. So now the no time or space rule can't apply to a defender.
2) A defender can't move to maintain LGP if it involves putting a foot OOB.
This by no means says an automatic block just because someone has a foot OOB.
