The 2019-20 season marks the fourth season at Eastern Michigan for Adam Call, and his second as Associate Head Coach.
In his Call’s first season working primarily with the Eagles’ posts, Eastern’s bigs made significant strides. As a unit, EMU posted the 10th-most blocks in Eastern Michigan history with 84 rejections and finished the season ranked fourth in the conference in rebounds per game (38.55).
Autumn Hudson turned in a strong sophomore season under the tutelage of Call, posting career-highs in nearly every statistical category. Her 6.0 rebounds per contest were a team-best, while she also led the team with 19 rejections. Alongside Hudson, freshman Kiara Johnson averaged 4.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per contest. Additionally, Johnson became just the 11th true freshman to post a double-double, finishing the year with two.
Call was crucial in the development of EMU’s guards in 2017-18. Most notably, he guided Danielle Minott and Courtnie Lewis to All-MAC honors. Minott, after rewriting the single-game record book, landed on the All-MAC Third Team, while Lewis put together one of the greatest freshman campaigns in program history. Lewis scored the second-most points by a freshman Eagle en route to All-MAC Honorable Mention and MAC All-Freshmen honors, while also finishing top-10 nationally in scoring among freshmen. Additionally, Call worked with Sasha Dailey, who finished her time in the Green and White ranked second in games played (131), tied for fifth in steals (243), seventh in field goal attempts (1,306), tied for 10th in field goals made (507) and steals average (1.9), and 15th in minutes played (3,018) and scoring (1,247).
Call came to Ypsilanti after spending the past two seasons at Stony Brook University as an assistant coach. At Stony Brook, Call worked with the guards while also aiding in scouting, practice planning and game planning.
In two years with the Seawolves, he was part of a team that made back-to-back appearances in the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI) while posting 17 victories in each season. In 2015-16, he helped mentor freshman point guard Davion Wingate to All-Rookie Team honors from the America East Conference. Wingate started 14 games at point guard, averaging 8.7 points per game over 30 contests. She won two Rookie of the Week awards in a span of three weeks from Jan. 11-25, scoring in double figures in 12 of 13 games from Dec. 18-Feb. 3.
In Call’s first season, he assisted with the development of America East second team guard Kori Bayne-Walker and All-Defensive Team selection, Jessica Ogunnorin. Bayne-Walker led the conference in assists, averaging 5.26 per game, and finished the season ranked eighth in school history in assists.
The Norman, Okla. native arrived at Stony Brook after spending the 2013-14 campaign as the Director of Player Development at the University of Washington, where he helped guide the Huskies to a 20-win season and berth in the WNIT Quarterfinals.
Call was the Director of Basketball Operations at Northwestern from 2011-13, where he ran Joe McKeown Basketball Camps and supervised managerial staff, the video coordinator, and interns.
The Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University made a national postseason trip in each of Call’s three seasons as video coordinator, including the NCAA Tournament in 2008-09 and 2009-10. TCU claimed the Mountain West Conference regular season title in 2009-10 and played in the WNIT in 2010-11. He began his career as a sophomore at the University of Oklahoma, where he served three seasons as the student manager from 2004-07. The Sooners claimed two Big XII Conference Tournament and regular season championships and went to the NCAA Tournament every year.
The programs he has worked for have qualified for the NCAA Tournament five times, including trips to the NCAA “Sweet 16” in 2005-06 and 2006-07.
Call holds a bachelor’s degree in international area studies from the University of Oklahoma and a master’s degree in liberal arts from TCU.
