The only thing I really do not like about the Elam ending is the loss of all potential for any kind of overtime in a basketball game.  As Syracuse fans, we can attest to the fact that overtime often lends to the joys and thrills of the game experience.

One potential mod that I've thought of, is to essentially allow the opposing team one possession if they are within one score of the team that reaches the target score.  if the team that was behind ties or goes ahead, an additional seven points is tacked on as a new Target score (i.e. the first overtime).  If the team that was behind doesn't score or take the lead and a possession change occurs, the game is over.

I think this still achieves the original Target of the Elam Ending by eliminating the foul Fest, while also allowing for one last chance or one last shot scenarios and over times.  
 For example, if the target score is 60 like in our game last weekend, and we hit 60, if team fancy had 57 58 or 59 points, they would be allowed one last in bounds in possession to have a chance to tie or take the lead.  if they miss the shot and we get the rebound or there is a turnover, the game is over.  If they hit a basket to tie or take the lead, an additional seven points is tacked on as a new Target score.

Thoughts?
