Guy Plumb Wicks (June 8, 1902 – January 16, 1968) was a college basketball coach and university administrator. He also coached baseball and football.
Born in Eustis, Nebraska, Wicks moved with his family to the Palouse region of northern Idaho. He graduated from Moscow High School and the University of Idaho, also in Moscow, where he played baseball for the Vandals, and was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity.
After receiving his bachelor's degree in 1925, Wicks coached multiple sports at the high school level in nearby Genesee for two years, back at Moscow for three, and up at North Central in Spokane for one.
He moved to Pocatello in southeastern Idaho in 1931 to become assistant athletic director and head basketball coach at the University of Idaho's Southern Branch (today's Idaho State University), then a two-year school. With the departure of Felix Plastina, Wicks became its athletic director in 1935 and also head football coach, posting a 29–17–1 (.628) record in six seasons. After a decade, Wicks returned to Moscow in 1941 to coach basketball and baseball for the Vandals. During World War II, he served as an officer in the U.S. Navy, then returned to coach at Idaho. Wicks later worked in the athletic department and then in university administration, as the associate dean of students.
