Legacy
The Al McGuire Center, which includes a statue in his honor, opened on the Marquette campus in 2004.
He is not related to the late North Carolina and South Carolina coach Frank McGuire, who was a coaching contemporary of his, though he did play for McGuire at St. Johns.
He was elected to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993.
McGuire's brother Dick was also a prominent figure in basketball. They are the only pair of brothers inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
McGuire was survived by his wife Patricia, three children - sons Allie (who played for his father at Marquette) and Rob, and daughter Noreen - and six grandchildren.
