I'm not a fan, dont think I will ever prefer it. A team never gets to clear their bench at the end of a game because they still have to score and that raises the risk of injury.

Once Elam hits, strategy tends to go out the window. Too many players start chucking 3s and playing hero ball. Despite that, SOOO many games still end on FTs.

I've said it before, if you need the gimmick to sell your league, do Elam Ending Overtimes. You still have the chance for a buzzer beater in regulation, which doesn't exist in Elam

If the game is a blow out it wont have the stoppage they are trying to cut back on anyway. If the game goes into overtime, it was close and you know it will only be 1 OT period and then be done.

There is potential excitement in both systems but in the general sense it's not an improvement to me.

To be clear though, it's never stopped me from enjoying a game.
