Agree. I would be OK with your proposal on the option of shots or ball OOB

You don't need to completely change basketball w/ ELAM ending! One minor change

I'm all for the Elam Ending. Fixes the fouling issue, and the game always ends

But this changes the nature of the game too much.

The nature of the game isn't for it to be played in 3-4 second micro bursts.

Is there a fouling issue though? Only if your team is up I guess…

This is nice and all until you’re the team down and are trying to come back

This is the way the game was played before the idea that you intentionally foul

So... come back earlier in the game? Don't punish the audience by foul-fest

if there is a debate then the 'historical integrity' might not be so great

It would mean any game with a 10 pt lead and 4 minutes to go is basically over

I would only consider this if it was fouls in the first 10 seconds of the shot

Alternatively, they could switch to quarters and ditch the bonus. Just go

so why does men's college bball remain the only holdout for quarters?

It doesn't fix the end of game fouling issue like he's saying, but the men's

It changes the end of game to be more like the NBA. The bonus/double bonus is

I personally haven't seen being in the double bonus, which can often happen

It's not just hoping for a miss. 3 pointer vs 2 free throws as well.

The coaches are very powerful and fight it

When the sport was invented it was with 2 halves, not quarters

I disagree, 2x bonus has done nothing to reduce fouls, go back to all 1-and-1

I kinda like this idea. Punish teams who suck at shooting.

I'd go to all 1 and 1 and then reduce the number of timeouts each team has

Doesn't matter. The ending isn't going to change, even though I kind of wish it

Haha that solves nothing. Teams will just foul immediately again, and again, and again.

This is my issue with this solution. You go all out to steal the inbound and

Another option: Team gets 1 free throw and the ball if the foul is deemed to be

I'm sure teams would still foul, but at least they'd have to make an attempt

If in the bonus, I’d like to see 3 FTs awarded if the foul happens outside the 3 point line.

What about having fouls in the back court get 3 FT shots in the last 2 minutes?
