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

The above rules are what some of the officials may have been hinting toward.
The start of the try is irrelevant. The FT must be "made" (not started) by 10 seconds. If it is not released by 10 seconds, it is a violation (if you choose to call it).
