Stone, a former graduate of Duke University and member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, held various coaching positions before coming to Tech.

As a player for the Duke Blue Devils, Stone scored the only goal in the 1986 National Championship game, giving his team the win over Akron.

He left the Rush to coach professionally in the Women's United Soccer Association, leading the Atlanta Beat to the league's inaugural championship game, losing in overtime on penalty kicks to the Bay Area CyberRays.

[11] In 2010 – Stone's fourth year with the team – the Red Raiders went 11–8–1, marking the program's third-ever winning record and first in 15 seasons.

In 2014, Stone's squad won 16 games and climbed as high as sixth in the national coaches' polls before advancing to the program's first-ever Sweet Sixteen.

[13] The Red Raiders went .500 the following two seasons – and missed the tournament altogether in 2017 – but came back to go 14–5–3 in 2018, beating a program-record four ranked opponents and leading the nation in shutouts with 14 in the process.

In addition to coaching at the collegiate level, Stone has served as an advance scout for the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) since 1999.
