Coaching career

After five seasons, she became a graduate assistant at Ohio State in 1984, become becoming an assistant coach at Ball State in 1985. Guevara spent a decade as an assistant coach at Michigan State under Karen Langeland, including as associate head coach in the 1995–96 season.[2]

In 1996, Guevara became a head coach for the first time at Michigan. Inheriting a program whose winning percentage in the past four years was under .200, Guevara led Michigan to four consecutive postseason tournament berths, which had never occurred in program history. Guevara earned two Big Ten Coach of the Year honors (1998 and 2000).[2]

She also coached at Auburn University from 2004 to 2007, under Nell Fortner.

In April 2007, Central Michigan hired Guevara as head coach.[2]

Lawsuit

In 2009, she was named as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Brooke Heike, a former player who lost her scholarship after the 2007–08 season.[3] On May 3, 2010, all of Heike's claims against Coach Guevara and Central Michigan University were dismissed as lacking merit.[4]
