The Star Tribune catches up with old Gophers Coach Oldfield, now Maryland Coach Frese. She's happy where she is, but she regrets the bad feelings caused by her abrubt departure.

"I regret how it played out in the media, but it was out of my control. I tried to protect the players, and ultimately they were the ones who were burnt the most. The criticism I took? I'm a big enough person to handle that as an adult. I was able to view the criticism as at least people are passionate about women's basketball because it wasn't that way when we walked in there. You have to take it as a backhanded compliment."
