The Elam Ending is coming to the G League.
The Elam Ending led to an intense fourth quarter that featured actual defense and physical basketball.
Ticky-tack foul calls and a game ending on a free throw led to unhappy reaction to this TBT Elam Ending.
A blind e-mail from high-school principal Nick Elam has turned into TBT adopting the Elam Ending, which Dugar calls "an awesome, awesome, awesome experience. It’s like pure, possession-oriented, very high-stakes basketball."
The Elam Ending gets rid of much of the tedious end-of-game fouling and makes sure every game ends on a game-winning basket.
