A couple of dayss ago, Michigan women's basketball coach Martin Borseth went ballistic in his post game interview. Various sports shows, for example ESPN, found this so entertaining that they aired it - over and over again - on their various sports programs.
(No, I'm not going to share it here, and yes, I'd be very, very surprised if it wasn't on YouTube by now.)
In one of the articles written on the subject, people were able to comment on it, and one of the commenters said, "Well, at least he cares about what he's doing, even if it is only women's basketball."
The italics are mine.
What is this "only women's basketball" crap? The players out on that floor care just as much about their sport and their team as the guys do, and always have. And as for "importance" - well, that's defined by money these days and now that there's a WNBA, not to mention all the money to be made overseas playing women's basketball, women's college basketball is important as a showcase for these players.
So Borseth had every right to be angry... and while he certain went OTT (over the top, in theatrical parlance), at least he wasn't kicking dirt on umpire's legs like Lou Piniella, or picking up and throwing bases like Lou Piniella, or doing the wave or whatever he was doing, like that minor league baseball coach who totally lost it a few years ago.
All hail Martin Borseth. Keep being passionate about your job, your team, and women's college basketball.
