Faulty communications is being blamed for the mass exodus of the Gopher women's basketball team this spring, according to a press release by the University. No NCAA rules violations or "egregious conduct" were found.

The communications problems developed between coaches, between coaches and players and between players themselves which in turn created "misunderstandings,"feelings of mistrust" and splintered relationships.

Coach Pam Borton: "Obviously, I've learned a lot from this. Everybody has. When anything like this happens in anybody's life, you take a step back and reevaluate."

Natasha Williams: "I didn't think too much would come out of it. Maybe things will be more closely watched next season. I just don't think there was enough honesty coming from Pam. Hopefully, things will be OK for everybody who stayed."
