Few speaks out on SI.com blog

Basketball: On Wednesday, Gonzaga men’s basketball coach Mark Few had little to say regarding the University of Washington’s proposal to play a three-game series with the Zags at Seattle’s KeyArena.

He did, however, open up Thursday to SI.com reporter Seth Davis, who posted Few’s remarks on his blog.

“The chances of that happening are about the same as Bigfoot having my baby,” Few said. “That’s like me saying, Gonzaga proposes a five-year deal at Spokane Arena. There, I just made a proposal. That’s as logical as this deal (would be).

“The series should start in Spokane because Washington canceled the series. If they want to do a home-and-home, that’s fine. If they don’t, let’s all move on. We have some incredible home-and-home deals right now with Wake (Forest), Michigan State and Xavier. We’re doing a deal with Oklahoma. We have plenty of games, so it’s not that important for us to play Washington.”

Washington coach Lorenzo Romar also talked to Davis.

“We just sent out the proposal. It’s too early for me to start marking territory,” Romar said. “We always said eventually we wanted to resume the series. We’ve made a proposal and we’ll have to see what happens.”

Few didn’t dismiss the possibility of resuming the series.

“When they pulled out, I was totally, unequivocally cool with it. Scheduling is hard,” Few said.
