There is no incentive to run the clock out or foul over and over. Instead teams keep playing basketball as they have the rest of the game.

Do you ever see the Elam Ending being adopted at a college or pro level?

I hope to. It improves the game.

I don’t understand the benefit

It rewards the team ahead but keeps them playing to the end and gives a chance

Why not set a score from the beginning?

The target score is determined in game if you are ahead by 20 when they set it

Could it be adapted to football?

Hadn’t thought about it. It would be fun to see Bama not play keep away ball.

If you are up, would you want to get a whistle right at 4 minutes?

Isn’t there already a 5 minute TV timeout? Could change momentum but I would

One downside is it discourages use of bench of bench players in blowouts.

Why is that a downside?

Upcoming player development, or reward time for bench lifers.

I’d rather see the best players playing

Elam Ending with NIL in college ball= a dramatic locker room for underclassmen

I could see that happening. I'm in favor of the EE. I was just responding to possible downsides.

The biggest advantage is to stop strategic fouling at the end of the game.
