This is the best argument against Elam's Ending.

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 100 games gets that ending the other 99 are boring.

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

Elam's ending wouldn't make the other 99 more interesting. It would just get

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

Apr 2, 2:04pm

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

You could also argue it doesn' help blow outs because they are battling the

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

We could just have arbitrary stoppage time at the end and no one really

Except on Tuesdays and games starting before 6 on odd numbered days in states with Republican governors.

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

Corn Pop

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

Apr 2, 2:06pm

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

Apr 2, 2:10pm

I mean there is still the shot clock but yes

Apr 2, 3:00pm

Yes there is a difference. Many teams have hit a buzzer beater believing they
