I touched on it briefly below, but I haven't posted much about Coach Borseth's rant (a longer video than the one below can be found here). It certainly attracted a great deal of attention, both the video itself and posts on message boards. He's a very passionate, animated coach and was that way long before he came to Michigan. He's been criticized as unprofessional, and certainly people viewing just the video will treat him a caricature, which is unfair but hardly surprising. (Graham Hays of espn has a good column about this.) His criticism of the officiating may land him in trouble with the Big 10.
On the other hand, his frustration was very understandable to anyone who saw the game. As I've noted below, I thought the officiating *was* uneven. Other than an occasional "damn", there wasn't any profanity. He gave credit to Wisconsin (at least in the "longer" version), and his comments about his own players was fairly muted (other than their failure to get rebounds).
Let's hope the team does well enough in the future we don't have to worry about any more rants....
