Mark Few, the head coach of Gonzaga University, has become a prominent figure in international basketball after serving as an assistant coach for Team USA during the 2024 Paris Olympics. His role was pivotal in helping the team secure a gold medal, and this achievement has fueled discussions about him potentially leading Team USA as head coach for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
The speculation comes on the heels of current Team USA head coach Steve Kerr indicating he might not return for another Olympic cycle. Few’s leadership abilities and experience in college basketball, particularly his success in transforming Gonzaga into a powerhouse program, make him a strong candidate to take over the reins for the 2028 Games【6†source】【7†source】.
Few has expressed his admiration for the opportunity to coach alongside NBA legends and acknowledged the personal growth and honor that comes with being part of the Team USA staff. His deep understanding of the game, combined with his success in international competition, makes him a natural fit to continue the legacy of coaches like Mike Krzyzewski, who previously led Team USA to multiple gold medals【8†source】.
Fans have reacted emotionally to the prospect of Few stepping into this iconic role, as it represents not only a huge career milestone for him but also a chance for USA Basketball to maintain its dominance on the global stage. Some fans have even been brought to tears at the thought of Few leading the national team, knowing the gravity of the responsibility and the pride it would bring to the country【6†source】.
