Head Coach Mike Montgomery

During the 1998-99 season, Montgomery directed the Cardinal to a school record fifth straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, and the school's first conference title since the 1962-63 season. In the process, Montgomery became Stanford's all-time winningest men's basketball coach. Now in his 14th season, Montgomery has logged a mark of 261-139 on The Farm. Montgomery bettered the previous mark of legendary coach Howie Dallmar, who tallied 256 wins.

During the 1998-99 season, Montgomery was a finalist for the prestigious Clair Bee Award, honoring the active Division I basketball coach who has made the most significant positive contribution to his sport during the preceding year.

Last year, the Cardinal chalked up a 26-7 record, the third-most number of wins in school history. The 26 wins were impressive in light of the fact that Stanford played its toughest schedule in school history. Included were games against nine teams that ranked in the Top 25; NCAA champion Connecticut, #5 St. John's, #8 Maryland, and #12 Arizona among them.

In his 13 seasons at Stanford, Montgomery has directed the program to seven NCAA appearances (including one Final Four and one Sweet Sixteen appearance) and four NIT appearances (NIT champion in 1991).
