Episode Details

Mark Few is officially headed to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and for good reason—he turned Gonzaga, a school most folks couldn’t find on a map, into a basketball juggernaut. With two Final Fours, 27 straight NCAA Tournament bids, and a staggering 770 wins to just 156 losses, Few’s legacy speaks for itself. He’s also produced NBA stars like Sabonis and Holmgren, all while staying at Gonzaga since 1999—refusing bigger offers to build something special in Spokane. Coaches like Kerr and Spoelstra praise his basketball IQ and player connection, with Spoelstra calling him one of the most underrated minds in the game. Few stays humble, crediting his father’s lifelong loyalty as inspiration, seeing coaching as about mentoring young men, not just Xs and Os. His induction Saturday in Springfield is long overdue for a coach who redefined college hoops—and stayed true to his values every step of the way.
