Tony Stockman is the new head basketball coach at Ohio Christian University. Stockman, a 2005 Ohio State graduate, was selected from a pool of top candidates from across the nation following an extensive search by the university. Stockman joins OCU after an eight year international basketball career where he played for professional teams in France, Germany, Israel, Mexico, and most recently in Brazil.

Stockman was named Mr. Basketball Ohio in 2000 after averaging 25.5 points per game and becoming the all-time leading scorer at Medina High School where he led his team to a 58-9 record in three seasons. He then signed with Clemson University where he would prove to be the top freshman in the ACC with a scoring average of 12.0 in his first season. In his 2nd season at Clemson he was the leading sophomore scorer in ACC play with an average of 14.1 points per game in conference games.

Stockman became an Ohio State Buckeye following the 2001-02 season when he transferred from Clemson University. After sitting out a year due to NCAA transfer rules, he averaged 13.6 points per game to lead Ohio State in scoring as a junior. As a senior, he led Ohio State to a 20-12 record under new head coach Thad Matta.
