Because it's probably going to rebound off to the other side?
When I coached, yeah, it was the dark side period of my life, I taught my kids the importance of weak side rebounding. When we played zone defense, I actually had my tallest player, and/or, best rebounder, on the left block, not in the middle. Most players are right handed, and most prefer to shoot from the right side, thus most missed shots end up rebounding off to the left side, right into the hands of my best rebounder.
