The key is what constitutes early.
This is the first time I recall seeing this issue discussed.

By "early," I simply meant before the player grabbed the ball OOB. I will do this several times a season when players are wandering around. In this case, even if there were 15 seconds left, I'm probably just going to stop the clock and administer the T-I once it rolls out off the court.
If it didn't roll off the court, I'll probably let the new offense waste some time before I'd even consider starting a count.
