Better yet, add 21 to the losing teams score as the target score
If it’s a blowout, the Elam ending might not even need to happen.

I’d much rather cut down on video reviews and time at the ft line

That would just shorten rotations more than anything.

In a different way, every game now ends on a made basket

I don't care about ending the game on a made basket. Others may like that, but to me I wonder why that would

That’s fair…my biggest issue is the parade to the ft line…fix that and I’m good

To me fouling is a much bigger college issue. It happens in the NBA, but the shooters in that league are so good

It is rarely successful, but the bigger issue is that teams try.

Take foul is the important part here. And I’m not expecting the trap to work

True buzzer beaters are quite rare, but I see your point.

That would have zero effect on load management. It's the # of games, not the duration.

Do 10 minute quarters, then add 11 points as the target score in an Elam ending
