Gonzaga coach Mark Few cited for DUI in Idaho
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - Gonzaga basketball coach Mark Few has been cited for driving under the influence and said he exhibited “poor judgement” operating a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol.
Few released a statement Tuesday night apologizing for the “hurt caused to those most important to me - my family, my players, and my program.” He was cited on Monday night in the town about 30 miles east of the Gonzaga campus.
“I believe as a leader and role model, I am expected to set only the best example. The decisions I made yesterday do not exemplify this standard and for that, I sincerely apologize to you all. I recognize that operating a motor vehicle after consuming any amount of alcohol exhibits poor judgment,” Few said in his statement.
“Regardless of the outcome of the pending investigation, I will never allow such a lapse in judgment to occur again. Please know that I am committed to learning from this mistake and will work to earn back your trust in me.”
Few was stopped by Coeur d'alene police around 8 p.m. Monday after he was “called in as driving erratic and speeding,” according to a police report.
