| 1 day 9 hours ago | Sorry for the bad info! |
That post of mine was based on bad information I had been given about Borseth being on the final year of his contract. Most of it was speculation that I no longer ascribe to. Soon after I wrote that, this article was published in which John Barnes, one of Borseth's assistant coaches, said this:
The bottom line is that Borseth was unhappy at Michigan and quickly jumped at the chance to return to a job where he'll face less pressure and be closer to his family and to where he grew up. That isn't anything like Maloney's departure. |

There was no mutual agreement not to extend Kevin Borseth's contract. Borseth had another year remaining on his contract and was negotiating an extension with Brandon when his old job opened up, and he decided to head back there. |

I don't think the curtains they hang in arenas are made of the same material as the ones hung in houses. Someone on another board said they're made of Kevlar or some other heavy-type material. Everything I've read about them says they make the atmosphere louder. See this article for some reaction from athletes at Arizona to the curtain at their arena. |
| 1 week 11 hours ago | Creating an arena environment |
Creating an arena environment that's louder and more intimidating to opposing teams provides a direct benefit to the players. Also, as many times as I've seen football players looking over at the scoreboards to watch replays, it's clear the scoreboards aren't merely for the fans. |
| 1 week 12 hours ago | There are still other |
There are still other staffers to be hired (e.g., director of basketball operations, video coordinator), but the people named above will be the three assistant coaches. Nichols sounds fine, and McCorvey and Barnes Arico together should be able to entice some players from the East Coast to Ann Arbor, but I have some misgivings about Moore being the lone one with Midwest ties. |

Madison Ristovski, incoming women's basketball freshman, was one of the six female finalists for the high school award. |
| 1 week 14 hours ago | It's pretty solid scuttlebutt |
It's pretty solid scuttlebutt on some message boards and on twitter. McCorvey's U-M directory profile has her title as "Women's Assistant Basketball Coach." |
| 1 week 16 hours ago | Barnes Arico's staff hasn't |
Barnes Arico's staff hasn't been officially announced yet, but multiple people have reported that the hirings have already been made. These reports say that the staff will include Joy McCorvey, one of her assistants at St. John's; Chester Nichols, who had been an assistant at Kansas; and Melanie Moore, who had been a Princeton assistant. McCorvey has already been added to the U-M directory and Nichols is no longer listed on the staff page at Kansas, which provides some backing for these reports. |
| 1 week 1 day ago | That the curtain will make |
That the curtain will make Crisler look better for women's games is less important to me than the fact that it has the potential to create a louder, more intimidating atmosphere. The theory would be that this would lead to more wins, which will lead to more fans paying for tickets and buying $5 boxes of popped maize. Perhaps eventually the curtain pays for itself--and maybe makes itself obsolete in the process. |
