Michigan Daily on Coach Borseth

Today's Michigan Daily has a profile on coach Borseth, focusing on his rather animated and passionate coaching style:

Imagine a nicer, but not tamer, version of legendary basketball coach Bob Knight, and you might begin to understand Michigan coach Kevin Borseth.

The first-year Michigan coach has brought excitement back to the women's basketball program, not just because the Wolverines are enjoying their first winning season in six years, but also because of Borseth's intense sideline antics.

Borseth can be found on the Michigan bench breaking clipboards, jumping up and down or barking commands to his players.

Against Indiana Jan. 24, Borseth fell to the floor and pretended to have passed out in reaction to an official's call.

"I sell the farm on every possession," Borseth said. "Sometimes I see a call I don't like and I'm animated about that."
