"I sent the biggest guy in our program, Crew, one of our assistant strength coaches. He’s about like [6-foot-7], 350 [pounds], probably benches like 1,000 pounds. [I] sent him up the bleachers to run him out and that guy disappeared pretty quick," he said.

The former Michigan, Arizona and West Virginia coach said there have "probably" been spies at his practices before, but this time he's actually aware of them.
