Few was announced in April as a member of the 2026 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class, becoming the first Gonzaga head coach to earn the honor. He has spent more than three decades at Gonzaga and more than 25 years as the Bulldogs’ head coach, a run that started when he joined the program as a graduate assistant in 1989. He took over as head coach in 1999.
Under Few, Gonzaga has put together one of the most decorated stretches in college basketball history. The Bulldogs have made 27 straight NCAA Tournament appearances, won 23 West Coast Conference regular-season titles and claimed 21 WCC Tournament championships. They have reached the Sweet 16 13 times, the Elite Eight five times and the national championship game twice.
That title-game run came in 2017 and again in 2021, when Gonzaga entered the championship game at 31-0. Few’s coaching tree and roster construction have also helped produce numerous NBA players, while the program has grown into a national power.
Few’s résumé also includes work beyond Spokane. He was an assistant coach for the United States men’s basketball team at the 2024 Paris Olympics and helped the Americans win gold.
His career has brought plenty of national recognition and put him among the winningest coaches in NCAA Division I men’s basketball history. This weekend, he adds another line to that legacy as he joins the Hall of Fame.

Few said Huff is now back in the mix after the knee injury that cut his previous season short, and the Zags are already looking at him as a central piece for the 2026-27 team. With Few leading the program into another chapter, Gonzaga is shaping its roster with Huff in mind.
Huffs return matters because Gonzaga has spent the offseason building around what he can bring when he is fully available. His presence changes the conversation about the Bulldogs ceiling, especially if the supporting cast around him comes together the way the staff envisions. Few has also made clear there is no reason to force the issue with Huff, which leaves the next step less about rushing him and more about how much higher he can lift this group once the season arrives.
