A proven winner in four different programs, Stone's 24-year career collegiate record of 466-211 (.688) ranks among the top 30 in overall winning percentage among active Division I coaches.

Stone's Badgers have put together three-straight winning seasons and have played in the post season the last three years. The 2006-07 team set a program record 23 wins (23-13) and posted a 4-1 record as the runner-up WNIT champions, losing at Wyoming, 72-56, in the championship.

Last year, Stone's team rattled off 10-straight wins at the beginning of the season, which tied as the second-longest winning streak in school history. The team won 19 games, making it only the 10th time in program history the UW won 19-or-more games. Stone's 2008-09 squad nearly set a school record for scoring defense, limiting opponents to just 56.6 points per game, ranking second in school history.

The 2007-08 team was 16-14, losing in the second round of the WNIT tournament. The Badgers 9-9 Big Ten Conference mark was the most league wins since going 12-4 in 2001.

Stone faced a major refurbishing project when she took over at UW. She had the first losing season of her career in 2003-04, as she took a team that finished 7-21 in 2003, to a 10-17 record in 2004. Armed with five new recruits, an insatiable energy and the desire to succeed, her second season with the Badgers showed a team that improved by leaps and bounds. The Badgers had more wins and better statistics across the board while finishing with a 12-16 mark, including their first win at the Big Ten tournament since 2002.

Just as important to Stone as a winning record is having student-athletes who are accomplished in the classroom. Stone's 2006-07 Badger team had the third best fall grade point average of all 23 Badger teams with a GPA of 3.239. Her 2007-08 team had a cumulative GPA of just below 3.00 and seven upper classmen were named Academic All-Big Ten. Twenty individuals have garnered 36 Academic All-Big Ten honors during her five-year tenure at Wisconsin.

While at Drake University, her 2001 team ranked sixth nationally and her 2002 team ranked 15th nationally in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's Academic Top 25.

Stone's basketball record at Drake was also successful, posting a 64-27 (.703) record in three years. With a 25-8 record, her 2002 team had the best record and the highest national ranking (20th) at the school in 20 years. Drake was 23-7 in Stone's first season before bowing out in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

She was recognized for her coaching success in 2002 with an invitation to join Team USA as an assistant coach to Marsha Sharp of Texas Tech. Team USA won the gold medal at the 2002 World Championships for Young Women Qualifying Tournament in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil.

Prior to Drake, Stone built one of the top NCAA Division III programs in the nation at UW-Eau Claire. The two-time national coach of the year and five-time Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) coach of the year, took a program that had only one winning season in its history, and guided 11 teams to 20-win seasons and 11 appearances in the NCAA Division III tournament. She compiled a 277-59 (.824) record in her 12 seasons, which ranks second all-time for most wins in the league's history.

In each of Stone's last nine seasons at UW-Eau Claire, the Blugolds won at least 22 games and never lost more than six. UW-Eau Claire completed its best season in 1999-2000, winning its first 28 games before falling in the Division III NCAA Sweet 16 to the eventual national champion.

Stone began her coaching career at Cornell College (Mount Vernon, Iowa), where she had a 34-32 record in three years as head coach from 1985-88. At 23, she was the youngest four-year college coach in the nation when she led the Rams to three consecutive Southern Division titles in the Midwest Conference.

As a player, Stone (then Anderson) earned four letters each in tennis, basketball and track during her high school career. She led the Oregon Panthers to the Wisconsin state basketball tournament in 1979 and 1980, earning first-team all-state honors as a senior and second-team recognition as a junior.

She played her collegiate ball at the University of Iowa from 1980-84, where she earned her bachelor's degree in physical education in 1984. She added a master's degree in athletic administration from Iowa in 1986.

At Iowa, Stone played for one of the country's outstanding coaches in C. Vivian Stringer. She was a four-year standout at point guard, scoring 1,129 points, which ranks 19th in Iowa history. She also ranks eighth in assists (322) and tied for ninth in steals (177). Three times Stone served as Iowa's captain and twice was the Hawkeyes' MVP. She won the 1984 Big Ten Medal of Honor, recognizing her as one of the top scholar-athletes in the conference.

Stone and her husband Ed, a certified public accountant, are the parents of Allison (17) and Tyler (14).
