Who is Lisa Stone?

Lisa Stone is the current head women's basketball coach at Saint Louis University, having been hired on May 4, 2012. Her previous head coaching position had been at Wisconsin, a post from which she had been fired in March 2011.

Prior to her position with the Badgers, she was head coach at Drake University. In her coaching career, she has compiled a 397–151 record. She has won conference Coach of the Year honors at both schools, as well as with UW-Eau Claire.

Prior to Drake, she built one of the top NCAA Division III programs in the nation at UW–Eau Claire. The two-time Division III national coach of the year and five-time Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference coach of the year took a program that had only one winning season in its history and guided 11 squads to 20-win seasons and 11 appearances in the NCAA Division III tournament. She compiled a 277–59 record in her 12 seasons at Eau Claire, 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. In 1997, Stone led the Blugolds to the NCAA Division III national championship game, losing by two points to New York University. In 1999–2000, Stone's final year at Eau Claire, the Blugolds compiled the best record in school history, winning their first 28 games before falling in the Division III NCAA Sweet 16 to the eventual national champion.
