After a successful career as the Wesley College golf coach, Hall of Famer Rick McCall will step down after the spring season.

McCall has been the Wolverines’ coach since 1995, leading Wesley to 12 conference championships and six NCAA Division III Top 25-finishes, including a second-place finish in 2003. The Dover resident helped bring the Wolverines their only national championship, coaching Chris Noll to a 2002 individual Division III title.

McCall’s career includes nine conference Coach of the Year awards, three GCAA PING Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year awards and one NCAA Division III Coach of the Year award. He coached the Wolverines to 10 straight conference championships in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference and the Capital Athletic Conference from 1999 to 2008 and coached 10 individual conference champions.

Among the awards that McCall has won are the Delaware State Golf Association Annual Golf Award (1989), Pat Knight Award for his lifetime contribution to junior golf (1993), and two Philadelphia PGA Junior Golf Awards (1995, ‘96). McCall also holds various posts in clubs and organizations in the Dover community.

“The best part of coaching has been the kids, hands down. Watching them grow as people and as golfers has been the most rewarding part of my career,” said McCall.

“I’ll definitely still be around the game,” he added, “It’s what I’ve done for most of my life.”

“Coach McCall’s contributions to the Wesley athletic department and the Wesley golf program have been outstanding. We have been lucky to have him coaching for us as long as he has,” said athletic director Mike Drass.

The Wolverines ended their fall season this past weekend with the second annual Andrew Geyer Memorial Tournament.
