Game ending in TBT

eliminate the foul fest by giving the offensive team the choice of bonus free throws or taking the ball from the sideline.
I've got an old Wildcats-Cannons game from 1985 where the last two seconds took four or five minutes to play, due to the eight fouls the 'Cats managed to rack up.

Just make any defensive fouls in the final 2 minutes - one free throw + possession.
I think there are a number of possible alternatives, such as mentioned above, that could limit the deliberate fouling without upsetting the whole concept of winning.
The whole point of the Elam Ending isn't just to eliminate the fouling. It's also designed to give the trailing team a chance to come back. Penalising them extra-hard for playing tough defense and gambling for steals, or letting the opposition simply inbound the ball, both make the result a sure thing much sooner.

Derek cooke jr made dunk final. Highlights on their webpage.

Jimmer got shut down today but cant see randle and co beating the elite.

Ending is kinda of anti climactic to me but better than watching the constant stoppages

Was the TBT dunk contest any good? Apparently they were going to have one player guard and try to stop the dunking player from dunking. Interesting concept, did it work out?

I think the Kings should get Patrick Sanders back for their 2012/2013 tilt at the title.
