I would like to see a modified version. The team leading with 5 mins left must
hit a target score to win. But the clock keeps running. If they don’t hit that score before time expires, they lose.
The other team’s goal is not to score, but to prevent that team from scoring. By any means necessary.

Show me an Elam Ending highlight reel that rivals the buzzer beater one.

Imagine a team down by twenty coming back with the Elam ending. It’s be awesome

It's not a perfect solution but it is better than we have now.

1 in 1,000. Dramatic buzzer beaters are super rare.

Less "boring wasted time", is sort of the definition of "more interesting".

No. because the "boring wasted time" only happens in blow outs. And Elams ending

It'll help blowouts become more interesting because a losing team has a chance

If you only have 30 seconds to score those 10 points it's virtually impossible

My gut says that if we tried Elam for a year, 80% of the watchers would wonder why we didn't do it sooner

Um, pretty sure the clock also removes a "team's chance to respond."

Right. The only thing the the Elam Ending will for sure eliminate would be half court and 3/4 court shots.

Rushed shots. Elam's ending would remove all rushed shots at the end of the game
