Ohio State women’s basketball coach Kevin McGuff is facing a drunken-driving charge after police said they found him parked in his front yard last week in Dublin, Ohio.
On Tuesday, authorities confirmed McGuff’s arrest on May 6 for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
The incident report released Tuesday said Dublin officers located McGuff, 55, inside a Toyota SUV that was partially parked on his lawn.
Another driver had called police to report a vehicle driving recklessly and striking several curbs, officials said.
Responding officers performed several field sobriety tests, including asking McGuff to say the alphabet from D to R.
“Kevin could only say ‘D’ and could not recite any other letters,” read the police report obtained by the Columbus Dispatch.
McGuff refused a breathalyzer test and was taken into custody and charged with OVI, a first-degree misdemeanor. He was released about an hour later into his wife’s custody.
Ohio State’s athletic department said it was aware of the arrest and is “monitoring the situation closely.”
“This is an ongoing, personal legal matter, and the department will share additional information at the appropriate time,” a school spokesperson said.
McGuff has a 276-113 record since taking over at Ohio State in 2013. The Buckeyes have reached the NCAA Tournament eight times under his leadership, including 2024-25 when they finished with a 26-7 record. He was the Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2023-24.
