This week on Assembly Call Radio, we discuss the most important stories from the past week in Indiana basketball.

On the mics: Jerod, Andy, and Ryan.

• [00:27] In Segment One, we deliver our opening thoughts, provide the details of the content we're running with Comfort Option for Pacers-Hornets tickets, and then take a look around the Big Ten with each team's first two games in then books.

• [15:29] In Segment Two, we analyze Clifton Moore's performance at Penn State and whether it suggests he deserves more playing time moving forward. There were certainly some good plays, but a closer look at the tape also revealed some deficiencies that may explain why Archie has been reluctant to play him more.

• [29:47] In Segment Three, we discuss how you get players like Clifton, Jake, and Damezi time on the court to develop when you're trying to play and win close games against good opponents. And then we discuss how you handle some of your top players -- like Devonte Green and Justin Smith -- struggling with correctible errors like turnovers. How much leeway do you give them to work through their struggles?

• [43:46] And in our final segment, we answer your questions. What is the former Hoosier who is closest player comp for Ryan (as a player)? What is Zach McRoberts' role moving forward? And should you design your offense to prioritize your star player or for everyone to be able to find shots?

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