McGuigan was the Duquesne Dukes men's basketball coach from 1914 to 1920 and again from 1921 and 1923. During his overall tenure as coach, the Dukes garnered 66 wins and 35 losses, a .653 win percentage. Aiming to avoid the association of the name of a Holy Ghost father with the perceived rowdiness of the game of basketball, Father McGuigan was dubbed "Coach Gene Martin" in newspaper reports.[2]
