Pac-12 Hall of Honor

STANFORD, Calif. - Mike Montgomery will be honored as Stanford's representative for induction into this year's Pac-12 Men's Basketball Hall of Honor.

The induction is scheduled for Friday, March 10, during a ceremony prior to the semifinals of the 2017 Pac-12 Tournament Presented by New York Life at T-Mobile Arena. The inductees will also be recognized on court during Friday night's semifinal session.

Inductees for the other conference schools comprising the 16th annual Hall of Honor class include: Bob Elliott (Arizona), Tarence Wheeler (Arizona State), Jerome Randle (California), Chauncey Billups (Colorado), Stu Jackson (Oregon), Ray Blume (Oregon State), David Greenwood (UCLA), Ralph Vaughn (USC), Andre Miller (Utah), Quincy Pondexter (Washington) and Carlos Daniel (Washington State).

Mike Montgomery, the winningest men's head coach in school history and member of the 2016 National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame induction class, is recognized as one of college basketball's all-time great coaches. At the time of his retirement in 2014 after 32 years as a collegiate head coach, Montgomery ranked 25th in NCAA history with 677 victories.

The third-winningest coach in Pac-12 history with 282 league wins, Montgomery posted a remarkable 31 winning seasons in 32 years as a collegiate head coach, including 22 seasons with 20-or-more victories and three 30-win campaigns. He registered a school-record 393 wins (393-167) in 18 seasons as head coach at Stanford from 1987-2004, highlighted by four Pac-10 Coach of the Year honors and four conference regular-season titles along with the 2004 Pac-10 Tournament crown.

Montgomery directed the Cardinal to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 47 years in just his third season in 1989, and nine years later guided Stanford to the 1998 NCAA Final Four. He was honored as the Naismith College Coach of the Year in 2000, and led the Cardinal to a school-record 31 victories in 2001.

In 2004, he was the recipient of the prestigious John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Lifetime Achievement Award. Montgomery also enjoyed successful coaching tenures at Montana (1979-86) and California (2009-14), directing the Golden Bears to postseason appearances during each of his six seasons at the school. Overall, he guided his programs to 24 postseason appearances as a collegiate head coach, including 16 NCAA Tournaments, 12 of them at Stanford.

He developed and mentored 43 All-Pac-12 players, 31 first- or second-team Pac-12 All-Academic selections and coached eight first-round NBA Draft picks.
