Right, but either way he would be just as legal. A single day off is 24 hours plus 00:00-10:00 worst case makes it 34 hours. No need to code R or rest in that particular situation.
Why they wouldn't release someone at noon when they were on a 12 hour last day long call and legally unable for anything else may be silly but its not illegal as long as no illegal assignment was actually assigned/accepted/flown.
