I know this is a moot point sonce its gonna stop any play anyway, I just want to be sure that I call it at the right time...not too soon, not too late.

You should actually call it immediately (as soon as he steps on the rubber with hands together), but if you wait its no big deal.
Main thing is that you call it!
