Few has also been suspended for Gonzaga’s opener against Dixie State, which is an all-time laughable punishment. I sure hope the Bulldogs will be fine against Dixie State without him!

As I always say, there’s never an excuse to drive under the influence. I love beer as much as the next guy, but I’m not going to hop behind the wheel after a few too many.
Mark Few makes a ton of money as Gonzaga’s basketball coach, and he has more than enough resources to get a driver or an Uber.
When you drive drunk, you’re putting everyone on the road at risk.

Now, he’ll pay a fine that is the equivalent of pocket change to him, do some community service and sit out a game.
I think it’s very fair to say that he has gotten off very easy.
Update: As part of his guilty plea to DUI, Gonzaga coach Mark Few will have to pay a $1,000 fine, do 24 hours of community service and have an ignition interlock installed in his car until January 2023.

Hopefully, he learns from his mistake and never does it again.
