When ASA says "simultaneous with the release of the ball" they mean simultaneous with the delivery motion; they don't actually mean simultaneously with the ball leaving the hand.
The ball leaving the hand is usually nearly simultaneous with the front foot landing and while the pivot foot is dragging.
