'''Mark Norman Few''' (born December 27, 1962) is an American [[college basketball]] coach who has been the head coach at [[Gonzaga University]] since 1999.

He has served on Gonzaga's coaching staff since 1989, and has led the [[Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball|Bulldogs]] from [[mid-major]] obscurity to consistent [[NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]] contenders. During his tenure as head coach, Few has led the Bulldogs to the NCAA Tournament every season (except 2019–20, when the team had secured an automatic bid but the tournament was canceled), a stretch that has garnered the Bulldogs recognition as a major basketball power despite playing in a mid-major conference. In his 26 seasons as head coach, his teams have won at least a share of 22 [[West Coast Conference]] regular season titles and 20 WCC tournament titles, and have participated in the National Championship game twice (2017 and 2021).

==Biography==

===Early life and education===
Few was born in [[Creswell, Oregon]], and was a star [[point guard]]<ref>Withers, ''BraveHearts'', p. 52.</ref> at Creswell High School, graduating in 1981. He originally attended [[Linfield College]], hoping to play basketball and [[baseball]], but he was troubled by the after-effects of a dislocated shoulder he suffered while playing [[American football|football]] as a senior at Creswell.<ref>Withers, ''BraveHearts'', pp. 52–53.</ref> He then transferred to the [[University of Oregon]], hoping to play baseball there, but the [[Oregon Ducks|Ducks]] had dropped their [[Oregon Ducks baseball|varsity baseball program]] by the time he arrived in [[Eugene, Oregon|Eugene]]. He graduated from Oregon with a [[Bachelor of Science|BS]] in [[physical education]] in 1987.

===Coaching career===

====Assistant coach====
Few entered the coaching profession even before receiving his degree, serving as an unpaid part-time assistant at his alma mater of Creswell High School starting in 1983, and advancing to a paid position from 1986 to 1988.<ref name=HSCoach>Withers, ''BraveHearts'', p. 53.</ref> During this time, he also worked at Oregon's summer basketball camps.<ref name=HSCoach/> After a season as an assistant at another Oregon school, Sheldon High School in Eugene, he moved to [[Spokane, Washington]], joining the Gonzaga staff as a graduate assistant in 1989 under [[Dan Fitzgerald]].<ref>Withers, ''BraveHearts'', p. 42.</ref><ref>Gonzaga lists his first season as 1990, but both its official basketball website and basketball media guide consistently refer to seasons by the calendar year in which they end.</ref> He had some familiarity with the program, as he had befriended [[Dan Monson]], then a Gonzaga assistant and later the head coach, during his time working the Oregon basketball camps.<ref name=HSCoach/> In 1990, he was promoted to a full-time assistant. As an assistant, Few helped lead Gonzaga to its first four postseason appearances—the [[1994 National Invitation Tournament|1994]], [[1996 National Invitation Tournament|1996]], and [[1998 National Invitation Tournament|1998]] [[National Invitation Tournament]]s and the [[1995 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1995 NCAA tournament]].

In April 1999, Monson, who had just finished his second year as Gonzaga head coach, promoted Few to associate head coach.  This was immediately following [[1998–99 Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team|the season]] in which Gonzaga became the nation's basketball darlings, making a run through the [[1999 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]], defeating [[Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball|Minnesota]], [[1998–99 Stanford Cardinal men's basketball team|Stanford]], and [[Florida Gators men's basketball|Florida]], to advance to the Elite Eight.<ref name=zgnfct >{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=K-YnAAAAIBAJ&pg=2304%2C6140819 |work=Spokesman-Review |location=(Spokane, Washington) |last=Bergum |first=Steve |title=Zagnificent! |date=March 19, 1999 |page=C1}}</ref> In the West Regional finals Gonzaga lost to eventual national champions [[1998–99 Connecticut Huskies men's basketball team|UConn]] by five points.<ref name=henfr>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=r1RWAAAAIBAJ&pg=5854%2C5911144 |work=Eugene Register-Guard |location=(Oregon) |last=Baum |first=Bob |agency=Associated Press |title=Huskies end frustration |date=March 21, 1999 |page=1G}}</ref> When Monson left in late July to take the open head coaching job at Minnesota, Few, who had been designated as Monson's successor, was promoted to head coach.<ref name=fwcnrep>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dMUjAAAAIBAJ&pg=4722%2C2429988 |work=Moscow-Pullman Daily News |location=(Idaho-Washington) |agency=Associated Press |last=Geranios |first=Nicholas K. |title=Few can replace Monson |date=July 26, 1999 |page=1C}}</ref><ref name=fchagnz>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=82NWAAAAIBAJ&pg=6369%2C5338116 |work=Spokesman-Review |location=(Spokane, Washington) |last=Blanchette |first=John |title=Few changes at Gonzaga |date=July 27, 1999 |page=C1}}</ref>

====Head coach====
Taking over after Monson's abrupt departure, Few managed to sustain the Gonzaga program's success from his very first season, ensuring the Bulldogs did not fade into obscurity. He guided them to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in his first two years, becoming only the second head coach in the nation to accomplish this feat since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The following year (2001–02), Few set an all-time record for NCAA Division I men's coaches by collecting 81 wins in his first three years as a head coach. The record stood until 2010 when [[Brad Stevens]] of [[Butler Bulldogs men's basketball|Butler]] surpassed it. In 2017, Mark Few became the third fastest coach to reach 500 wins in NCAA Division I history. The program's success has continued as Gonzaga has made the NCAA tournament in every one of Few's 21 completed seasons; indeed, he has been on hand for every postseason appearance in school history. The Bulldogs have also advanced to the [[West Coast Conference men's basketball tournament|WCC tournament]] title game in every season during Few's tenure. The Zags have won their way to every WCC Tournament championship game since 1998, and all but one since 1995.

With Few as head coach, the Gonzaga program produced its first seven first-team All-Americans in [[Dan Dickau]], [[Adam Morrison]], [[Kelly Olynyk]], [[Nigel Williams-Goss]], [[Rui Hachimura]], [[Corey Kispert]], and [[Drew Timme]]. All seven have played in the NBA, along with [[Richie Frahm]], [[Blake Stepp]], [[Ronny Turiaf]], [[Austin Daye]], [[Jeremy Pargo]], [[Robert Sacre]], [[Elias Harris]], [[Kevin Pangos]], [[David Stockton]], [[Domantas Sabonis]], [[Kyle Wiltjer]], [[Zach Collins]], [[Johnathan Williams]], [[Brandon Clarke]], [[Zach Norvell]], [[Killian Tillie]], [[Joel Ayayi]], [[Andrew Nembhard]], [[Jalen Suggs]], [[Chet Holmgren]], [[Julian Strawther]], and Anton Watson.

Few was named the West Coast Conference coach of the year for six consecutive seasons (2001 through 2006).

The 2006–07 season posed a number of challenges to Few and the Bulldogs:
*[[Adam Morrison]], a first-team All-America in 2005–06, chose to leave Gonzaga for the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] with a year of eligibility left.
*The Zags played an especially brutal nonconference schedule, with no fewer than nine opponents that would make the [[2007 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]].<ref name=2007Turmoil>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/wire?section=ncb&id=2805279 |title=Gonzaga puts difficult season behind |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=March 20, 2007}}</ref>
*The team's second-leading scorer and leading rebounder in 2006–07, [[Josh Heytvelt]], was suspended after being arrested on drug charges in February 2007, and did not play again during the season.
The Zags ended the regular season at 21–10, their first season with double digits in losses since 1997–98, which was also the last season to date in which they failed to make the NCAA tournament.<ref name=Heytvelt>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/wire?section=ncb&id=2766293 |title=Drug bust shakes Gonzaga and Spokane |agency=Associated Press |date=February 15, 2007}}</ref> It had generally been thought that Gonzaga would have to win the WCC tournament to earn a bid to the NCAA tournament.<ref name=Bubble>{{cite web |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bubblewatch?id=51 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070305162332/http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bubblewatch?id=51 |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 5, 2007 |title=Drive to 65: Bubble fans unite to root on Winthrop's Eagles |author=Glockner, Andy |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=March 2, 2007}}</ref> However, Gonzaga would go on to win the conference tournament, notably beating a [[Santa Clara University|Santa Clara]] team in the final that had earlier handed the Zags their first home-court loss in nearly four years. They would go out in the first round of the NCAA tournament to [[Indiana Hoosiers|Indiana]].

A year later, despite losing to San Diego in the conference title game, the Bulldogs garnered an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.

On March 21, 2009, Few notched his 254th win as Gonzaga's head coach with a second-round victory in the NCAA Tournament, passing his former boss Fitzgerald as the winningest coach in school history.

During the 2012–13 season, Few led the Bulldogs to the No. 2 ranking in both major polls, the highest national ranking at the time in school history. Few broke that record a week later when the Bulldogs surged to No. 1 in both polls for the first time.<ref>{{cite web |title=Gonzaga tops in AP poll for 1st time |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/9015023/gonzaga-bulldogs-ranked-no-1-ap-poll-first-time-school-history |date=March 4, 2013}}</ref> It was also the first time a WCC school had ascended to the top spot since [[San Francisco Dons men's basketball|San Francisco]] in 1977. Gonzaga went on to receive its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in school history, as well as a then school-record 32 wins.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wichita State Shoots Down Gonzaga, And The Inquisition Begins Anew |url=https://www.si.com/college-basketball/one-and-one/2013/03/24/gonzaga-loses-wichita-state-ncaa-disappointment |access-date=March 31, 2013}}</ref>

During the 2014–15 season, Few led the Zags back to the No. 2 ranking in both major polls, along with a then school-record 22-game winning streak.<ref>{{cite web |title=BYU beats No. 3 Gonzaga, ending nation's longest home win streak |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=400587360 |date=February 28, 2015}}</ref> Few guided Gonzaga to a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, his first Elite Eight appearance as head coach,<ref>{{cite web |title=Gonzaga handles UCLA, reaches Elite Eight for 1st time since '99 |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=400786510 |date=March 27, 2015}}</ref> and a then school-record 35 wins.<ref>{{cite web |title=Freshmen-led Duke pounds Gonzaga to earn Coach K's 12 Final Four |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=400787701 |date=March 29, 2015}}</ref>

In 2016–17, Few led the Zags to arguably their greatest season up to that point in school history. They stormed through the regular season, starting with a school-record 29-game winning streak, which also broke the record for consecutive wins to start a season. By February, they had surged back to No. 1 in the polls. The winning streak and No. 1 ranking were lost when the Bulldogs lost to BYU on February 25. As it turned out, it would be the Bulldogs' only loss of the regular season. Gonzaga went on to receive a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history, and advanced to the [[List of NCAA men's Division I basketball tournament Final Four participants|Final Four]] for the first time in school history, losing to North Carolina in the National Championship. The Zags set a new school record with 37 wins, which was also tied for the second-most wins in NCAA Division I history. They also made the deepest NCAA Tournament run by a WCC team since San Francisco reached three consecutive Final Fours from 1955 to 1957.

Few was named as the National Coach of the Year in 2016–17 by the Associated Press, Naismith, and the USBWA, awarded with the Henry Iba Award.

In 2018–19, Few's No. 3 Gonzaga team defeated No. 1 Duke 89–87 in the Maui Invitational final to beat Duke for the first time and to beat a top-ranked team for the first time in team history.

During the [[COVID-19]]-shortened 2020–21 season, Few led Gonzaga to its first-ever undefeated regular and conference season at 26–0, he also ended the season with the longest current home win streak, a school record, at 51 games. It also marked the first time in school history that the Zags were ranked No. 1 in both the Associated Press and Collegiate Coaches Polls for the entire season. Few also continued his consecutive conference tournament championship win streaks with 8, making him the only coach in NCAA history to reach 8 or more twice in his career. Few ended the season by breaking his old school record of 29 by winning 31 straight games from the start of the season before losing in the NCAA Championship game.

==National team career==
Few was the [[head coach]] of the [[United States men's national basketball team|United States national team]] at the [[Basketball at the 2015 Pan American Games – Men's tournament|2015 Pan American Games]], where he led the US to a bronze medal.

In 2019, Few was elected as the assistant coach of the national select team, a 13-player squad that helps the national team training. He helped the national team prepare for the [[2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Meehan |first1=Jim |title=Gonzaga's Mark Few named assistant coach for USA select team |url=https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/jul/25/gonzagas-mark-few-named-assistant-coach-for-usa-se/ |access-date=August 26, 2019 |newspaper=The Spokesman-Review |date=July 25, 2019}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Few and his wife Marcy were married by his father in 1994 and have three sons and one daughter. They have organized a charity golf tournament under the Coaches vs. Cancer umbrella, and since the tournament began in 2002, have raised over $1&nbsp;million for the [[American Cancer Society]].

Few is an avid fly fisherman.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/12334076/gonzaga-coach-mark-comfortable-winning-fishing-away-spotlight |title=Mark Few is fine outside the spotlight |date=February 17, 2015 |publisher=ESPN.com}}</ref>

In 2021, Few was given a three-game suspension from his coaching position at Gonzaga following an arrest for [[DUI]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.krem.com/article/sports/gonzaga/mark-few-suspended-three-gonzaga-games-dui-arrest/293-8e5941f6-b18c-47ca-b75e-bff24a46194d|title = Mark Few to be suspended for first two exhibition games, first game of the season for DUI arrest|date = October 9, 2021}}</ref>
