Former longtime Gonzaga assistants Leon Rice and Tommy Lloyd are part of the coaching staff for USA Basketball’s team that will compete in the FIBA U18 Americas Championship this summer.

Few enters his 19th season as Gonzaga’s head coach after a record-setting 2017 season. Gonzaga won a program-record 37 games and reached the NCAA championship game, earning Few Naismith Coach of the Year honors. Few has led GU to 18 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including one Final Four, two Elite Eights and seven Sweet 16s. The Zags have won or shared 17 WCC regular-season championships in Few’s 19 seasons, winning 14 WCC tournament crowns in that time.

Lloyd, who is in his 17th season with Gonzaga, has expanded the program’s recruiting boundaries by helping bring in numerous international players. Lloyd helped recruit current Zags Rui Hachimura (Japan), Killian Tillie (France), Jacob Larsen (Denmark) and Joel Ayayi (France). Lloyd was instrumental in recruiting former Zags Przemek Karnowski, Domantas Sabonis, Kevin Pangos, Kelly Olynyk, Robert Sacre, Elias Harris and Ronny Turiaf. Lloyd built his contacts overseas when he played professionally in Australia and Germany.

Powell joined the Zags' staff in June 2019. He was most recently the associate head coach at Vanderbilt. The former University of Illinois standout and Valparaiso assistant basketball coach Powell, joins GU effective immediately. Powell joined the Vanderbilt staff as associate head coach in April of 2016. In his first season at Vanderbilt, he helped guide the Commodores to the NCAA Tournament.
