Coach
Stokes was hired in 1999 by Jim Weaver, the new director of athletics at Virginia Tech, to replace the fired Bobby Hussey.
In his first year as coach, Stokes brought the Hokies their first winning season since the departure of
The highlight of his four seasons at Tech were blowout wins over #18 Connecticut and rival Virginia his final year. Stokes was dismissed after a third straight losing season and a 10–38 overall record in the Big East.[4] In none of these three years in the Big East was Virginia Tech able to qualify for the conference post-season tournament under Stokes.
After two years as an assistant coach at the University of South Carolina, Stokes was hired as the head men's basketball coach at East Carolina University after the 2004–2005 season.[5] After compiling a 14–44 record in two seasons, Stokes chose to resign rather than accept an administrative position within the ECU athletic department.[6]
The Mid-American Conference named Stokes the associate commissioner for men's basketball in 2010.[7]
