(Columbia, SC) -- The powerful story of Frank Martin's miraculous recovery is one he almost didn't tell.
The USC men's basketball coach yesterday discussed the piece on his near-death experience that ran on ESPN this weekend.
While coaching at Kansas State twelve years ago, Martin was hospitalized with a dangerously high-fever, but he got better after an unknown nurse prayed over him.
Martin initially refused ESPN's request last year to discuss the story, but he said yesterday discussing the power of faith and prayer was too important not to share.
