Al McGuire

Induction:
1980

One of the all-time greats of the college coaching profession, Al McGuire is the school's all-time winningest coach with a record of 295-80.

He led Marquette to the national title in 1977, second place in 1974 and a NIT championship in 1970. His teams were in 11 consecutive post-season tournaments and ranked in the top 10 nearly every season. His last 11 Marquette teams won at least 21 games including his 1970 -71 unit that posted a glittering 28-1 ledger.

McGuire earned numerous coaching honors at Marquette, including 1974 Coach of The Year honors from AP, UPI, The Sporting News and the U.S. Basketball Writers. In addition, he coached 12 All-Americans while at Marquette.

He was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992. In 1997, MU retired number 77, symbolic of the season of the program's national title and the year that represented his last year of coaching.
