After growing up around the Gonzaga basketball program since being in diapers, AJ Few is moving away from Spokane and moving to Boise to further his coaching career under a familiar face.
The son of coach Mark Few is joining coach Leon Rice’s staff at Boise State as the Director of Player Personnel, overseeing video operations for men’s basketball and assisting in opponent scouting reports and game plans, as well as recruiting. Rice served as an assistant coach for the Zags from 1999-2010, building a strong relationship with the Few family during that stretch.
“As for AJ, we’re fortunate to add a young man with an extensive and expansive basketball background and pedigree. His knowledge, experience and acumen in all facets of the game will pay dividends and make us a better program, both now and in the foreseeable future.” – Boise State coach Leon Rice on AJ Few
AJ’s playing days ended in his senior high school season with Gonzaga Prep in Spokane. He then joined his father’s program and has gotten a feel of what it takes to build and exercise a successful team. Few recently served as the Zags’ head video coordinator and previously had experience as a student manager as well as a graduate assistant from 2022-25. He also helped out with the Miami Heat organization during the NBA Summer League this past summer.
The Gonzaga coaching tree across the country seems to grow more and more, year after year. The spawn of the Godfather of Zags’ basketball looks to follow in the footsteps of some of the greats to sit on the sidelines in Spokane.
