So now that it's the release, even if that offensive player leaves a split second early, the ball hasn't even got there yet so not as much as an advantage. Of course, I could just be crazy and 100% wrong, but that's the way I see it.

You make a great point. I hadn't considered that element....that it, to a large degree, neutralizes the advantage of being a split second early.
