Coach Profiles MARKMARK FEWFEW On May 7, 2015, Gonzaga University head coach Mark Few was announced as the head coach of the 2015 U.S. Head Pan American Men’s Basketball Team. Coach Few entered his first USA Basketball head coach position Gonzaga University after having served as an assistant coach for the gold medalist 2012 USA U18 National Team, and he was a court coach for the 2009 USA Men's U19 World Championship/World University Games Team training camp. “It’s an honor to represent our country and also be associated with USA Basketball,” Few said. “I’ve had a great time with all of my other USA Basketball experi- ences, and I’m really looking forward to working with Mike (Brown), Tad (Boyle), Sean (Ford), B.J (Johnson) and this team.” Few has established himself as one of the most successful coaches in NCAA Division I basketball in his 16 seasons at the helm, and in the process has made Gon- zaga basketball a household name across the country.
