To be technical (ha!) about it, the OT period begins with the administration of the T.

Note that in your play, the 4th quarter had ended. That means that time had expired, and any related activity, such as FTs for a foul that occurred during the 4th quarter, was completed. THEN the T was issued.

In Snaqwell's play, time had expired (in the 2nd quarter), but the FTs had NOT been shot. So, the 2nd quarter was still going when the T was issued -- the T was part of the 2nd quarter, so the T was administered DURING the 2nd quarter.
