Speaking ASA.
Here is my opinion...
If the pitching infraction happened before the runner left early, then it is a DDB. Once the runner leaves early, it is a DB, play over.
However, since not all runners advanced one base safely on the IP/DDB, the offense gets the choice. I assume they will take the enforcement of the IP rather than the result of the play.
However, to survive enforcement of the IP after the BU called DP/no pitch, the DDB signal had better been already "out there" or you're going to have a defensive coach convinced he got jobbed.
If the leaving early happened first, the IP never happened ('cause of the DB/no pitch).
