Awesome. Thanks for posting OX. My favorite comments:

On Mark Few: "I forget which Nike trip it was, but he jumped into our card game and got his butt kicked...he took it well. He handled it well and took his beating like a man. But he's a world-class fisherman. I can't hold a candle to him fishing-wise."

On what he tells recruits: "When I go out, I tell players I'm going to push them. They're going to get pushed, and if they're not responding, I'm going to push them harder." In my opinion, not all players will like that, but some players will love that, and those are the players we want. Great quote.

On Mike G: "We never envisioned him as a point guard, and if I was asked at the time if he would be a point guard, I would have said no. But he's put a tremendous amount of work in, and we've kind of fit the offense to utilize his skills as a point guard."

On Mike G's recruitment: "Autry had seen him a lot. I had only seen him one time, and I didn't like him at all. And then he went to Duke. I didn't think he was that good to be honest with you. He couldn't shoot and he wasn't really a guard. But Adrian liked him, and contrary to popular opinion, I do listen to people." Gold.

At the very end, there's a few comments on how to get the most out of their players. Not going to quote it here, so you have to watch if you want to see. :)

So much wisdom in 21 minutes. Really worth listening to. Gonna miss this guy when he hangs em up.
