HAMDEN, Conn. – Quinnipiac University women's basketball Head Coach Roman Owen has announced the additions of Adam Call and Amaya West to the staff ahead of the 2026-27 season. Call will serve as the team's Associate Head Coach, while West will join the staff as an Assistant Coach.
"I'm really excited to bring Adam on as the associate head coach for the Quinnipiac women's basketball program. He has two decades of experience that can help our student-athletes become the best versions of themselves on and off the floor. What he brings to the table will help this program continue to compete at a high level." – Quinnipiac Women's Basketball Head Coach, Roman Owen
Call comes to Hamden after spending last season as an Assistant Coach at the University of Loyola Chicago. Call helped the Ramblers to a 16-18 overall record and a 9-9 conference mark out of the A10 Conference. The Ramblers fell to the eventual A10 Champions, the Rhode Island Rams, in the A10 Conference Championships. Loyola Chicago earned a bid to the WNIT, winning two games (at Norfolk State, 58-54, and at Florida Gulf Coast, 62-56) before George Washington ended their season in the Super 16.
Call joined Loyola Chicago in the summer of 2025 following a four-year stop at George Washington. Call helped the Revolutionaries to wins in the Atlantic 10 Championships in three separate seasons.
Call was instrumental in Mayowa Taiwo's record-breaking 2023-24 season, as she totaled 1,037 career rebounds—the third-highest mark by a single player in program history. Taiwo earned a spot on the A-10 Preseason All-Conference All-Defensive Team, while sophomore guard Nya Robertson was selected to the league's All-Conference Third Team.
In his first two seasons in D.C., the team reached the A-10 quarterfinals and set a school record for made three-pointers in a single season (2022–23). Standout freshman Nya Robertson, a former top 50 recruit, was named the league's Sixth Woman of the Year, while Taiwo earned All-Defensive Team honors and climbed into the program's all-time Top 10 for career rebounds under Call's leadership.
Before joining GW, Call spent four seasons at Eastern Michigan, where he served his final two years as Associate Head Coach. In Ypsilanti, Call played a key role in player development, helping Danielle Minott and Courtnie Lewis earn All-MAC honors. Lewis had one of the best freshman seasons in program history, finishing in the top 10 nationally in scoring among freshmen.
Prior to EMU, Call helped develop standout guards at Stony Brook for two seasons, including All-Rookie Team selection Davion Wingate and All-Conference honorees Kori Bayne-Walker and Jessica Ogunnorin, while contributing to two consecutive 17-win seasons and WBI appearances. Additionally, Ogechi Anyagaligbo was named the 2015-16 America East Conference Rookie of the Year under his guidance after averaging 10.1 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.
Call joined Stony Brook after serving as Director of Player Development at Washington in 2013–14, helping the Huskies to a 20-win season and a WNIT Quarterfinals appearance. He previously spent two seasons as Director of Basketball Operations at Northwestern, overseeing camps, staff, and video operations.
A Norman, Okla., native, Call began his career as a student manager at the University of Oklahoma from 2004–07, during a run that included three NCAA Tournament appearances and multiple Big XII titles. He went on to serve as the video coordinator at TCU for three seasons, contributing to two NCAA Tournament appearances and a Mountain West regular-season championship in 2009–10. 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.
