Message: [QUOTE="StlRon, post: 4247816, member: 9724"] [B]ST. LOUIS –[/B] Saint Louis University Director of Athletics [B][URL='https://slubillikens.com/staff.aspx?staff=3']Chris May[/URL] [/B]announced today that SLU is moving forward with a coaching change in its women's basketball program. The decision comes after an in-depth, postseason review of the program. "[B]Lisa Stone[/B] did an exemplary job of building our program to a high level of respectability," May said. "I thank Lisa for her tireless efforts in working to serve our program. "Women's basketball is a critically important program at SLU," May said. "Our goal is to play in the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship regularly. This is a great job in women's college basketball, and our program is well positioned for sustainable, long-term success with Chaifetz Arena and, in the very near future, the O'Loughlin Family Champions Center. We have begun a national search focused on a group of highly successful professionals in college basketball." Stone is one of the most accomplished coaches in SLU women's basketball history. In 10 seasons at SLU, she amassed a 164-138 record. She has a 36-year head coaching record of 667-375 and ranked 14th in wins among active NCAA Division I head coaches prior to this season. Stone's five winning seasons and four postseason appearances at SLU are the most by a Billiken women's basketball coach. [/QUOTE]
