COEUR d’ALENE, Idaho — Gonzaga basketball coach Mark Few was cited for driving under the influence Monday evening.

Few was stopped by Coeur d’Alene police around 8 p.m. after he was “called in as driving erratic and speeding,” according to a police report.

The report stated that Few exhibited “several signs of intoxication” and that he refused to complete field sobriety tests. Few provided breath samples of .119 and .120, which is above the legal limit of .08, the report stated.

Gonzaga athletic director Chris Standiford released a statement saying the school is aware of the report regarding Few.

“While the facts of the situation are still being evaluated, we understand its severity and the legal process that will follow,” Standiford said. “As a Gonzaga employee, we respect Coach Few’s right to privacy and will refrain from further comment at this time.”

The Coeur d’Alene Press and Spokesman-Review first reported about Few being cited.

Few has been the head coach for the Bulldogs for 22 seasons and is 630-125 in his career. Gonzaga lost to Baylor in the national championship game last April.
