It's awesome.
Most, not all, that disagree would do so just because it's always been done one way if I had to guess.
I think it was Russillo who said it recently and was spot on IMO. If basketball had always done it the Elam way, then all of a sudden in 2020 someone wanted to introduce the timed ending with fouls every other possession that makes the last 2 minutes take 20 minutes, people would think that would be absurd to even consider.

I don't even think it's that weird. Most of us grew up playing with that scoring system in pickup ball.
It makes teams play the end like they do the rest of the game, just with more immediate intensity. No intentional fouls or letting people go to the rim to run clock and avoid ft's or 3's.
