POLL: What is the appropriate way to fix the foul-happy ending of close basketball games?

Elam ending would be the perfect end to a basketball game. You would only foul

You would also never see a buzzer beater again.

Every game ends on a buzzer beater with Elam

No it doesn't, because there's no buzzer

But the last shot of the game is just as exciting if not more so with the fact

So what is the penalty for a foul in an Elam ending? Automatic point(s) or what?

Nothing changes on that front. It's a clock and score thing

If you get into bonus they shoot free throws, or foul out etc still the same but
