Don't mess with happy: Mark Few reflects on Tommy Lloyd and coaching vacancies
INDIANAPOLIS — It’s 30 minutes after Mark Few has been announced as one of the incoming members of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2026. Are you ready to hear his confession?
He’s standing near the stage after the ceremony Saturday and admitting everything. Sure, he’s broken NCAA rules at Gonzaga. Broken them willingly, broken them enthusiastically.
It was 2021, in the teeth of the pandemic, and the NCAA was staging its tournament in a bubble in Indianapolis. There were rules in place to avoid contact. Strictly no fraternization, strictly no mixing among the teams for anything. You stayed not only in the bubble, but kept to your own group, no matter how long you were there. Gonzaga was there 33 days. An eternity to be isolated.
Hall Of Fame Officially Announces Class Of 2026
The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame officially unveiled its Class of 2026 on Saturday, prior to the tip-off of the Final Four in Indianapolis.
Many of the names listed had been previously reported, including Bucks’ head coach Doc Rivers, former Suns head coach Mike D’Antoni, and a trio of former men’s and women’s stars: Amar’e Stoudemire, Elena Delle Donne, and Candace Parker.
The rest of the class has now been revealed as well. On the men’s side, Gonzaga head coach Mark Few has been recognized for his storied collegiate coaching career. The press release notes that the two-time Naismith Coach of the Year is the “winningest active coach by winning percentage,” adding that he has recorded at least 20 wins in each one of his seasons as Gonzaga’s head coach. Few was also the assistant coach on the 2024 Olympic gold medal-winning men’s basketball team.

Veteran coach not surprised by success of Arizona Wildcats basketball
INDIANAPOLIS — Gonzaga coach Mark Few feels like a proud father. Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd was on his staff for two decades before taking the head coaching gig in Tucson five years ago.
Now Lloyd is thriving, with a team in the NCAA Final Four, and fresh off a contract extension. His record in his five years is an impressive 148-35, and this year's entry boasts 14 wins over nationally ranked teams — the most by any program in a season.
Few was in town for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame press conference at Lucas Oil Stadium on April 4, which was held a few hours before Lloyd's Wildcats were scheduled to tip off against Michigan in the second semifinal.
