Williams on McCall: "Last year, Calvin focused on basketball all year for the first time. I think it was a good experience for him, and as practice went on he became a better basketball player. Hopefully that will continue this summer. We can use his senior leadership this year, as that becomes important to us because of the players that we lost. I think Calvin realizes that because of his size, hes going to go against bigger players sometimes. He has to be a great defensive player. Hes always had the ability to put the ball in the basket. A lot of his potential will depend on his ability to play defense."
