Gonzaga dominated when it mattered most last season.
The Bulldogs outscored opponents by 43 points in just 29 clutch time minutes, posting the highest net efficiency in the country.
Clutch Time: Final 5 minutes when the score is within 6 points.

Great morning watching Case do what he loves to do. A lot of early mornings and long, lonely miles go into his big smiles on race days. – at College Station, TX
The things you come across when you move. My “recruiting letter” to Coach Few my junior year of high school!
Here’s the process of that development!

Congrats to Coach Few on being selected as an assistant coach for USA Basketball! 🇺🇸
Attended this in person! Became the genesis of our Oklahoma St offensive overhaul which ended up being #1 in the country.
📺 Best Nuggets From Coaching Clinics
This one comes from Mike D’Antoni’s Coaching U clinic on the “3 Seconds or Less” offense.
To this day, it’s still one of the best clinics I recommend to young offensive coaches.
What stood out wasn’t just the philosophy — it was the depth.
D’Antoni spends over an hour talking almost entirely about the spread pick and roll: spacing, screening angles, pace, the distance between the screener and the guard, weak-side positioning, “huggers,” “steppers,”
quiet feet…
It reminded me of the Vince Lombardi stories where he could spend hours teaching one play. That’s mastery.
Most coaches teach pick and roll as a play. D’Antoni teaches it as a living ecosystem — spacing, rhythm, timing, and reactions all connected together.
The clinic also reinforced something important for me:
great coaches don’t just add complexity. They go deeper into the essentials and fundamentals than everyone else.
And as a defensive coach, it is crucial to learn and understand the best offensive minds and schemes.
Backed-up player development results!

Asked Chet Holmgren about facing former Gonzaga teammate Drew Timme and what he has learned from him:
“I’m extremely happy for him. He’s a helluva player and a helluva worker. I’m happy to see him get some opportunity and make the most of it out there. We were both extremely focused on the game, but lots of jokes going back and forth up and down the floor. I kind of learned how to be a professional when it comes down to being on the court. Obviously, Drew is very known for being a goofy and not-take-life-too-serious kind of guy. But when it came to basketball, he was all business with how he prepared for it and how he played the game. It was great to be able to watch that and learn from him. I’ve just tried to apply that to my journey.”
