3 Man Weave

May I comment on the 3 man weave? And/or the 5 man weave? I happened by a freshmen girls basketball practice the other day and I got to watch their warrior-like attempt at running the 3 man weave. Now they tried hard, but, come on, there was more travelling going on than O'Hare International Airport. And the passing? Horrendous! Each pass looked like a hot air balloon taking flight.

But make no mistake, I don't blame the players. They don't know. No my question about the 3 man weave is this:

Why?

Why are you even running the three man weave? Can anyone tell me when in the heck any team in the history of basketball broke out into the three man weave when they were going down the floor. It's not like a broadway show, where the participant can break out into song at the oddest times. It's basketball. Where you should be looking to score.

Please, just stop it. The 3 man weave teaches nothing. It's a filler because you can't figure out anything else to do. Stop it. Stop, stop, stop.
