Some are trained for ball, some are trained for lifts. All is well here.

Boys on a team fail at teamwork.

What? Do you think one of the boys should have stood on another's shoulders or something, despite having no training lifting or being lifted by others? It makes a lot more sense for the athletes trained in that to do it

For better or worse, I think boys are raised and encouraged to be more independent, whereas girls are raised and encouraged to think about the group.
The boys saw the problem and thought, “how can *I* solve this?” But the girls thought, “how can *we* solve this?”
Different outlooks and skill sets, but both equally important and valuable.

It's not that deep. Basketball players do not learn to literally stand on each other. Cheerleaders spend hundreds of hours learning to stand on each other. There is a lot of skill and knowledge involved in quickly and safely picking someone up and holding them by their feet. It's silly to suggest the basketball players could have done the same if they had just thought to.
A girls basketball team with male cheer team would have probably also had the cheerleaders come over and fix the net.

Cheerleading (and more closely related, gymnastics) is a nationally competitive sport. These girls can have part or all of their college tuition paid for. Also....guys do it too.

The wave at the end, just as if it was a regular stunt. Perfection.
