Tulane's three-man weave comes with a twist: 'This is not punishment,' Mike Dunleavy says

The three-man weave is nothing new to college basketball, but for these players, to make 10 trips up and down the floor and make a layup each time without letting the ball touch the floor in the span of a minute, well, that's something else.

Tulane basketball measures physical conditioning on the court by doing something Mike Dunleavy Sr. had to do when he was first an NBA rookie in 1976.

When he first arrived to coach the Green Wave in 2016, Dunleavy's players struggled to complete this particular task just once. Last season, about half the team could do it twice in a row.
