Harding played nine seasons in the WNBA for six teams, including the Minnesota Lynx, who selected her No. 1 overall of the 2007 WNBA Draft. She also starred for four collegiate seasons at Duke and had her No. 10 jersey retired in the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame.
She replaces former Stockton coach Bobby Jackson, who was hired by the 76ers to join Nick Nurse's staff in Philadelphia.
Ranadivé served as Stockton's assistant general manager last season. She previously worked for the King as a coordinator in the social responsibility department and was an intern with the Golden State Warriors from 2011 to 2013.
