Deadspin
You may not care about women's basketball, but don't say that around Michigan coach Kevin Borseth. He's, um, into the game. And as you may have picked up from this clip, he thinks that offensive rebounding is rather important. Not sure if he's ranting at his players or at the officiating here, but either way, it's fun.
The only thing better would be if he got down on all fours and lobbed a pretend hand grenade. "Maybe we should recruit football players and put them around the basket!" Ha. He's forty! He's a man!

Bo would be proud.
What else do I want to know? How about when you became a frighteningly unbalanced lunatic? Let's start there.
Worst REM video ever.
I can't hear the sound at work, but does he end this with an "OOOOOOHHHH YEEEAAAAAHHHH!!"?
IT'S DIVISION I WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL!!!!!!!
\Dan Hawkins
Patrick Stewart stars as Kevin Borseth in "Boxing Out!!!!"
I think I missed something. Is he frustrated?
@Camp Tiger Claw: +1
If he really cared he'd slap himself in the face a couple times.
The kids were playing their tails off and the damn coaches were screwing it up.
Wait a minute. They have press conferences after women's games?
Ed Harris is pissed!
This is just like when the guy at the Medfield McDonald's told Curt Schilling they were out of apple pies.
/couldn't think of anything new
You know, people complain about the Big Ten Network not having content, but that was three minutes of their programming day yesterday. How could that be a bad thing?
Wow, Michael Chertoff is pissed. I hope we didn't get hit by terrorists or something.
You should have seen how he reacted when someone asked him about his team's chances in the NCAA tournament.
Puts Jim Mora to shame, I'll tell you that much.
I thought Kevin Borseth completely the Oscar for his role in "Little Miss Sunshine"
Alan Arkin is totally, totally, totally, totally, totally deserving of an Oscar. Totally.
@the earl of weaver: *completely deserved
This guy is a Canadian, or my name isn't Doxidan.
Hey, look at Kevin. He's givin' it to T-bone. He's jumpin' up and down like some kind of monkey. Hey, what was the name of that monkey that could read sign language?
so his point guard cut him off huh? (I mean, that the only reason guys coach womens basketball right?)
@Camp Tiger Claw: Borseth is one adjective away from being a Shiny Happy Person.
The opening of that clip with the flying paper slam is the highlight of my day.
Geez, he is totally totally peeved!
Gosh!
@Doxidan, Gentle Doxidan: Nope, according to his bio; Bessemer, Michigan; in the far western tip of the Upper Peninsula.
If you're going by accent, he does sound like a Yooper though.
Art Carney anyone?
Regardless, it's nice to see some coaching passion up north.
@HebrewHammer: it's the long lost Ed Harris audition for Blue Chips.
Rebounds betrayed us. Wicked, tricksey, false. They are Gollum's rebounds.
I love how after almost 4 minutes of this ridiculous rant, the studio guy goes, "We didn't have time to show you how it ended." Then proceeds to describe how it ended.
It's the Big-10 Network. The one thing you have, is time.
@ceedat: It's the best. I may lead with that when I start walking into rooms.
ESPNEWS is airing classic episodes of TOTALLY PAULY now?
/makes weasel noise
"I'm talkin' morning, day, night, afternoon, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally.
"How many 'totallys' is that?"
"A lot."
it would be fun to see what happens when he's constipated
"Hey Kevin, do you like offensive rebounds?"
"All Encompassingly!"
Good to see Bulldog Briscoe landed on his feet.
/Frasier reference
Looks like doggone John L. Smith is still coaching in the state of Michigan after all...all this dude needs to do is slap himself in the face to complete the full John. L.
According to ESPN, there were 6 people in the room.
Ah, Michigan.....
The 'Ivy League of the Midwest".
Lovely.
