Few is the only college coach on Steve Kerr's Team USA staff
Last summer Steve Kerr, Mark Few and Team USA learned valuable lessons at the FIBA World Cup. The American team, which featured a roster of young NBA talent, went home without a medal after losing to Lithuania, Germany and Canada.
“We all came to the conclusion that the FIBA game is way more like the college game than it is the NBA game,”coach Mark Few said. “ is totally leaning toward offense … anything in the paint in FIBA was nothing, no fouls. So it’s very difficult sometimes to generate post-ups and post-play. There are no 3 seconds in the key defense like you have in the NBA, so there’s help side … in college you can just jam the lane if you want so there are not a lot of those free drives to the rack.
“When you get asked to represent your country at the highest level of basketball, that’s as good as it gets,” Few said. “To me, it’s the highest honor.”
