Adam Call is in his fourth season at GW in 2024-25 after playing a major role in elevating George Washington women's basketball back up the ranks in the A-10 alongside Head Coach Caroline McCombs.
During the 2023-24 season, Call helped guide GW to a 13-18 overall record, falling to Saint Louis in the second round of the Atlantic 10 Championship. His leadership also helped produce historic numbers for Mayowa Taiwo, who finished with 1,037 career rebounds, the third-most in program history for a single player. Taiwo was also named to the Atlantic 10's Preseason All-Conference All-Defensive Team, while sophomore guard Nya Robertson was named to the league's All-Conference Third Team.
His first two seasons resulted in a run to the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 Championship, with Year Two seeing an all-time school record for made three-pointers in a single-season in 2022-23, and three players decorated with All-Conference honors, including first-year Nya Robertson, a former top-50 recruit, who was named the league's Sixth Woman of the Year. With Call's guidance, Mayowa Taiwo also earned All-Defensive Team honors in the conference as she vaulted up the program's all-time career rebounds leaderboard into the Top 10, while grad transfer from Penn, Mia Lakstigala, excelled in her final collegiate season and was rewarded with All Academic Team honors.
Call spent one prior season as a member of Coach McCombs' staff during her time at Stony Brook and the prior four seasons at Eastern Michigan, including two as the Associate Head Coach. At EMU, Call was responsible for the post players in 2019-20 and helped Eastern finish the season fourth in the MAC and rebounds per game, and post the 10th-most blocks in EMU history with 84.
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.
Call came to Ypsilanti after spending two seasons as an assistant with Coach McCombs at Stony Brook working 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.
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.
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.
Call previously spent three seasons as video coordinator at TCU, including two trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2009 and 2010. 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.
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.
