This week on The Assembly Call, we talk a lot about coaching — including the characteristics of a good coaching staff, and the challenges Archie Miller will face in his second season at IU.

On the mics this week: Jerod, Ryan, and Coach Brian Tonsoni.

In Segment One (2:07), Jerod discusses why Juwan Morgan winning the offseason championship belt is so important in this week’s Hoosier Proud Banner Moment. Then we discuss the incredible max vertical numbers many IU players turned in at the end-of-summer testing session.

In Segment Two (17:09), Coach walks us through the characteristics of a good coaching staff, based on the article he wrote for Hoosiers United this week. We also highlight the unique strengths each member of Archie Miller’s staff brings to the table.

In Segment Three (31:58), we zero in on Archie and address the three biggest challenges he’ll face in his second season at IU — all of which are unique challenges that he hasn’t faced as a head coach before. What gives us confidence that he’ll be able to overcome these challenges?

Then in Segment Four (42:55), we take your questions.

• Valerie wants to know why the vlogs and other social media posts are so important
• Geoff asks about redshirting in college hoops, and which players on this year’s roster might benefit from one this year
• Josh wonders what Indiana will have to do to reclaim “blue blood” status nationwide
• Brian demands to know when the first 2019 commit will occur, and who it will be

All of that and more on this week’s edition of Assembly Call Radio.
