but the question then must be asked. Why is Mark Few still at Gonzaga. He's passed on numerous jobs that would have paid him a hell of a lot more money likely 2 or 3 times what he's making. Still he decides he wants to make less and live in Spokane (South Bend of the west) Why? Part of the answer lies in the fact that Basketball is Gonzaga's cash cow and as such gets the coach nearly anything he needs to be successful. In the wrong hands that would be dangerous but Gonzaga found a rare individual in Few and have done everything in their power to keep him. In my lifetime Notre Dame has never shown any loyalty to a basketball coach. Johnny Dee? Rubbed out. Digger? Scheduled out. John McCleod? Kicked to the curb despite having donated a million bucks to the university. The Dead Guy is the only one who left on his own terms.
