Coach Borseth's Coaching Style

Today's Ann Arbor News has an article about Coach Borseth and his rather "animated" behavior during games:

Kevin Borseth is a kinesiologist's dream personified.

His arms flail. His feet stomp. His face contorts, producing an assortment of purposeful expressions.

In moments of enthusiastic over-exuberance, the University of Michigan women's basketball coach will occasionally lose his balance, falling awkwardly backward into the laps of players who have learned to remain on the ready.

Borseth is a case study in constant movement - a collection of anatomical oohs and ahs - each tied to a correlating therapeutic release of emotion.

All of which is routinely put into the open by Borseth for all to see. Not for show, but rather out of competitive necessity.

"When I coach, I live -

every play, every second of every play,'' Borseth says.
