5-man weave upcourt for a layup, pass one player away and follow to run behind two players away. 1 passes to 2 and runs behind 3 (and 2), 2 passes to 4 and runs behind 5, etc. Here 1 passes to 2 for a layup.
 
See YouTube video - 5-man weave, 3 on 2, 2 on 1.

The last two players to touch the ball (1 and 2) defend a 3 on 2 coming back.

Dave D'Aveiro (Basketball PEI Coaching Notes) - players do a 5-man weave upcourt until coach blows the whistle, the player with the ball puts it on the floor and defends a 3 on 2 coming back with the player who passed him the ball.

Other variations

- stop here for a 5-man weave to 3 on 2
- the last two players to touch the ball attack 2 on 3 coming back.
 
Steve Nash - 5-man weave to 3 on 2, the shooter and last passer defend.
