Erica McCall is in her second season as an assistant coach, returning to The Farm following a five-year professional career in the WNBA.
In her first year on the bench, the Cardinal won 30 games for the 18th time (30-6), collected its fourth consecutive Pac-12 regular-season title and advanced to the program's 29th Sweet 16.
McCall played five seasons in the league with four different organizations before announcing her retirement in May 2023. She also has extensive experience with USA Basketball, having competed at the FIBA Americas U16 Championship, FIBA U17 World Championship, FIBA 3x3 U18 World Championships and 2015 Summer Universiade.
Named a 2016-17 honorable mention All-American by both the Associated Press and the WBCA, McCall led the Cardinal to four NCAA Tournament appearances, including Final Four runs in 2014 and 2017.
A WNBA second-round pick (17th overall) by the Indiana Fever in 2017, McCall was a two-time All-Pac-12 performer who guided to two Final Fours, three Elite Eights, three Pac-12 championships and a 118-28 overall record.
McCall averaged team highs in points (14.4), rebounds (9.0) and blocks (1.7) as a senior, scoring in double figures in 31 games while grabbing 10 or more rebounds 17 times. She was named the Most Outstanding Player at the Pac-12 Tournament after averaging 11.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in Stanford's three wins and was equally impressive in the NCAA Tournament, putting up 13.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game.
McCall's career totals of 1,376 points, 976 rebounds and 200 blocks make her one of nine players in Pac-12 history with 1,350/950/200. McCall was named to the 2016-17 CoSIDA Academic All-American Division I second team and is one of 14 Academic All-Americans in program history.
A native of Bakersfield, California, McCall graduated with a degree in psychology in 2017.
