COLORADO SPRINGS — When it was suggested to Mark Few that Colorado basketball fans might enjoy seeing their Buffaloes square off against Few's Gonzaga Bulldogs, he laughed.
"I wouldn't," he said without a moment of hesitation. "I don't like playing my friends."
He was eager to coach with his friend, though.
Few is unlikely to schedule a game against Tad Boyle and the Colorado Buffs, but when he was named the head coach of USA Basketball's Pan American Games team, he gave Boyle a call.
"It's an honor that he asked me to be a part of it," Boyle said of joining the Pan Am Games staff as one of Few's assistants.
