We have no problem enforcing it here. I have to ask refiator, though, just how early are they entering?

It depends, but mostly it is a player lifting a leg and gaining position to rebound. Their foot may or may not come down in the paint prior to the ball hitting the rim, but they definitely gain an advantage by breaking the plane of the lane line.
