Few has become more at Gonzaga University. The Bulldog faithful, who have proclaimed themselves "Zag Nation", are more than content with the combination of Head Coach Mark Few and more success in the national spotlight.
The best season in the 100-plus year history of Bulldog basketball saw Gonzaga roll to a 29-4 record, a second 14-0 West Coast Conference campaign in three seasons, a 10th WCC regular-season title, an eighth WCC Tournament crown and an eighth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Bulldogs' ninth trip to the event since 1995.
Coach Few, in just seven years in the head seat on the Bulldog bench, has three Sweet 16 and three NCAA second round appearances in his seven trips to the tourney. He is one of only two coaches to lead a team into the Sweet Sixteen in their first two years as a head coach since the bracket was expanded to 64 teams in 1985.Few’s career record is 188-41 in his seven years, making him the winningest seventh-year head coach in NCAA Division I history.
Coach Few has always been known for getting the most out of players both on and off the court. He is committed to total player development. Since Few arrived on the Gonzaga staff, the Bulldogs have produced 49 All-West Coast Conference selections, eight WCC Player of the Year recipients and six Academic All-Americans.
“When a young man enters the Bulldog basketball program, I believe it is our responsibility as coaches to help them reach their potential in every facet of their lives,” Few said. “Our commitment to the players will always go far beyond the basketball court with a goal of producing the complete individual, one that Gonzaga University will be proud of long after their playing days.”
