and an interesting quote from Coach Borseth in the same article:But Borseth, who compiled a 216-62 record in nine seasons at UW-Green Bay and led the Phoenix to seven NCAA tournament appearances, remains guarded when discussing Michigan's budding success.
"We've been the worst team in the Big Ten in the span of the last two years, and we're trying to get in the thick of things right now," Borseth said of the Wolverines, who compiled a 3-29 league mark during the final two seasons of coach Cheryl Burnett's four-season tenure.
"We won a couple games early on, but it doesn't necessarily mean we're going to win any more. ... We're just trying to win games. That's all we're trying to do."
Meanwhile, Borseth said that he has no complex plan in developing strong players. He added that hard work and a hard-nosed mentality are two critical components in a player's development. And then that player has to take the ball and roll with it.
"We put players in a situation and they've got to find a way to fight out of it on their own," Borseth said. "Once they (figure that out), maybe we can hone some of their skills that they might be lacking or work on the skills that are really strong to make them stronger.
"But I think the mentality of allowing them to play through a tough time probably speaks for itself -- far greater than any coaching that we do."
