On this week's edition of Assembly Call Radio, we finally deliver on two long-awaited segments.

First, we provide our midseason assessment of this year's Hoosiers. Ryan has said all season that it hasn't been fair to judge this team until late December. Well, late December is here. How do we feel about the team's progress? And what is a reasonable expectation for Big Ten season?

Then, Ryan delivers his epic rant about Coach K. Many of you have emailed and tweeted us wondering when we'd finally record this segment. It's here, and you won't be disappointed ... unless you really like Coach K, but we're betting there aren't too many of you in this audience. :-)

We also answer a few additional reader questions at the end, including one about Robert Phinisee that will go a long way toward telling the story of next season's team.
