AfterShocks coach Karon Bradley first mentioned the Elam Ending at the team lunch on Tuesday. He has some explaining to do.
Many of his players are familiar with the no-clock, win-with-a-basket finale for The Basketball Tournament games. Some are not.
"I've heard a little bit about it, but I haven't really read that much into it," guard Conner Frankamp said. "I like it. It will be fun to see how it goes."
The Elam Ending, used first in 2018 by TBT, aims to remove intentional fouling, free throws and stalling that often characterize the final minutes of a game.
