One day after receiving his Olympic ring for helping guide Team USA to the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Gonzaga men's basketball coach Mark Few received another monumental honor: a potential induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

The Basketball Hall of Fame announced its class of 2025 finalists on Friday as part of NBA All-Star weekend, and Few was one of 17 people on the list.

The finalists include players, coaches, referees and contributors. The finalists will be considered for election as members of the class of 2025, with the new class officially announced during the Final Four in San Antonio on April 5.
