Borseth to replace Burnett as head coach
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan hired Kevin Borseth on Tuesday to turn around the women's basketball program that won only 10 Big Ten games over the past four seasons.
Borseth coached at Wisconsin-Green Bay and replaces Cheryl Burnett, who retired last month after leading the Wolverines to a 35-83 record in four years.
Borseth coached nine seasons at Green Bay, compiling a 216-62 record and the Horizon League regular-season championship each of those years. The Phoenix won seven conference tournaments under Borseth and made seven NCAA Tournament appearances.
"This is a moment that I've thought about my entire life," Borseth said. "I've always been a Michigan man. I grew up in Michigan, and I've bled the colors maize and blue. It really is a dream come true and a great opportunity."
The 52-year-old Borseth coached Michigan Tech from 1987-98, posting a 225-97 record. He also coached at Gogebic Community College in Ironwood.
