Michigan Women's Hoops Coach Kevin Borseth Flips Out After Loss

I'd like to introduce you to Kevin Borseth, the women's basketball coach at Michigan:

That was Borseth's reaction to the Wolverines' 69-67 loss to Wisconsin. He started things off by slamming the podium and saying, "That's how I feel."

He then screamed, "I'm so damn sick and tired of getting out-rebounded!" Over the course of the press conference it's pretty amazing that he didn't break his hand, the podium or his glasses, which he took on and off with growing frustration. More from the press conference:

"Twenty-five offensive rebounds!?!"
"The first time we block out, we get called for a damn block out?! For pushing people?! Meanwhile, they're on the other end of the court, they're grabbing rebounds, going over the top and grabbin' them! We get one offensive rebound and then get called for over the back!"
"We either can't block out damn well or we're not getting calls, one or the other. That's why I'm frustrated. ... The entire thing came down to offensive rebounds.
"They got every ...

Slam went the podium again.

"... offensive rebound, and we didn't get one of them!"

What's wrong with you people calling him a-hole and stuff like that? He's a coach that cares about his team winning. Nothing in the world wrong with that. If you aren't passionate about the game, then you should stay home and twiddle your thumbs because you are the losers!!!

the fact they were up by 18 at one point and got outrebounded by such a wide margin says more about the coaching than it does about the officiating. what official would care who wins a coll. womens b-ball game?

Some fire from a mid-western boy in frigid February - go for it coach. Now, if some mid-western men can get as fired up about the murderous deceivers in the White House as Coach is about rebounding...well, maybe this Nation might make something of it self.

Get fired up! Rebound the Constitution - Commit to impeachment of Cheney/Bush.

Protect the Troops and all of humanity:

Change the Mission (now): Impeach!

Fantastic! I love seeing fire like this in sports. This pumps me up. This is what sports is all about, and not 1 hard curse word. Amazing.

Winning a game is only a bonus after having playing
a properly executed game. The coach needs to review
the game and practice hard with his team this week
to execute better the next game.
Despite his ranting and raving the end result is
this: Wisconsin is a better team than Michigan
because they won the game.
