Stockton to work as assistant coach on women's basketball team

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) - Hall of Famer John Stockton is joining Montana State as an assistant coach for the women's basketball team for the upcoming season.

Among the players the former Utah Jazz point guard will be coaching will be his daughter, Lindsay, who is a senior guard for the Bobcats.

Stockton said in a statement Tuesday head coach Tricia Binford "took a flier" and asked if he'd be interested in the position. Binford said Stockton has coached four current players on the team already and is someone the program respects and trusts.

Stockton previously coached his daughter at Gonzaga Prep in Spokane, Wash.
