There is an answer here for Sloan that I think coaches need to consider. Take top! If you're not confident you can get away, take top, get your 30 seconds of riding time, then Elam can't take neutral (or would need to score there), if he takes bottom, you ride him out again and win, and if he takes top too and gets the rideout, riding time is tied and you go to the next set of OTs.
Taking neutral after you get a rideout is good strategy, especially against a strong rider, but if both wrestlers are good on top, neither should choose down.
