Oh sagely DBR denizens, lend me your aid!

I am trying to find a video of Coach K, probably at a pre-season press conference or possibly a pre/post-game presser early in the 2015-2016 season. In it, Coach is asked a question about switching to zone amidst the struggles of '14-'15 and the success it brought, with the implication that he had grown to see the zone as reasonable option. In response, K says something like it was less that he came to accept the zone and more that he capitulated.

I'm trying to find the video so that I can get the exact line used by Coach K. Does anyone remember the video or exactly what he said?

I don't remember this quote at all. I do remember a story that came out near the end of the 2015 season where K talked about the coaching staff staying up all night after the NC State and Miami losses trying to figure out a solution. One of the assistants (probably Capel) suggested the zone defense and K agreed to it. That was the turning point of the season.

It was Capel.
