The try starts when the player begins the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball.

Note: I like Raymond's NCAA citation that tells us what is part of the shooting motion (raising the ball with the hand(s) and or arm(s) to shoot a layup or jump shot) and what isn't part of the shooting motion (picking up the dribble, catching (gathering) the ball, or advancing on the court with one or both feet).
