I think it's worth your time to listen.
There were a few things that were cut out of the video Saturday night. I don't recall in the video his mentioning Billy Gillispie teaching the team how to play craps and dice on a road trip. I think it was during the Puerto Rico tournament.
Good stuff.

You can tell how special that group was to him. Building a team like that, with what most considered lesser parts, and building them into a group that absolutely scared the hell out of opponents with their grit I venture to guess will his most rewarding team to coach when he looks back after his coaching career is over. It’s not easy to do it with a bunch of 5-stars at a blue blood school, but it’s always been a helluva a lot harder to do it at a school like Tulsa where, he and staff, took talented young men with exceptional grit and character and shocked the establishment.
