Stacey averaged 16.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game as a freshman and was named Mid-American Conference (MAC) Freshman of the Year. Following an injury-shortened sophomore campaign, Stacey was named first team All-MAC his last two seasons, as well as MAC Player of the Year in 2000.

During his tenure, Medina went 41-33 including going 19-7 in his final season. He became one of three boys basketball coaches in Medina County history to reach the regional finals.[5]
