Ricky Stokes is an American former men's college basketball coach.

Player

As a point guard for the Virginia Cavaliers, Stokes set the record for career games played with 134, a record that he still holds. [cite web|url=http://www.ferrum.edu/athletics/VaSID/Records/Men's%20Division%201.doc|title=Virginia Basketball Records] The Cavaliers made the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship each year that Stokes was with the team and during the three years that Stokes played along the legendary Ralph Sampson, the team earned a #1 seed.

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 Bill Foster but that year would be his high water mark in Blacksburg. Beginning with the 2000-01 season, the Hokies departed the Atlantic 10 conference and joined the much tougher Big East. Stokes was unable to recruit Big East level talent to Virginia Tech and the team's record suffered accordingly.

The highlight of his four seasons at Tech were blowout wins over #18 cbb link|season=2002-03|team=Connecticut Huskies|school=University of Connecticut|title=Connecticut and rival Virginia his final year. Stokes was dismissed after a third straight losing season and a 10-48 overall record in the Big East. [cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/college/news/2003/03/10/vtech_stokes_ap/|title=Stokes out at Va. Tech|date=2003-03-10|accessdate=2008-01-12|author=Associated Press|publisher=Sports Illustrated] In none of these three years in the Big East was Virginia Tech able to qualify for the conference post-season tournament under Stokes.
