Talk to anyone at IU about Indiana’s social media output, and one name comes up more than any other: Lynnea Phillips. And with good reason. She’s the head of digital and social media for IU athletics.With the ever-increasing importance of social media to sports programs across the country, we invited Lynnea onto the show to discuss how she is leading Indiana’s efforts to brand its programs, players, and coaches, and prepare the entire department for the seismic shift of NIL changes (whenever they actually come to the Hoosier State).And much more. This is a fascinating peek behind the curtain at one of the most important athletic department functions in modern-day college athletics.Make sure you follow Lynnea (@lynneaphillips) and the Cuban Center (@CubanCenter) on Twitter.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We have something a little bit different for you to head into the weekend with.As you probably know, Eric Pankowski of the Hoosier Hysterics podcast is a candidate for IU trusted. Voting begins on June 1st and goes through June 30th. In this episode, Eric discusses the genesis of his candidacy, what his most important issues are, why building up athletics has a cascading impact on the rest of the university, and how he addresses concerns about how the persona he's developed as "a hysteric" will reflect on the trustee position and fit in the trustee boardroom.And then, of course, there's a little hoops talk at the end.Here is information on how to vote in the upcoming election: https://alumni.iu.edu/events/trustee-election/index.htmlSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this edition of Hoosier Storytime, we get the inside scoop on one of the greatest teams in IU basketball history from one of the greatest examples of player development: Brian Evans. Brian played on the last few IU teams that were truly at the epicenter of college basketball. He was a redshirt on the 1992 Final Four team and a key rotation piece on the 1993 Elite Eight team that many people think would have won it all were it not for Alan Henderson's knee injury. We talk at length about what it was like playing with so many great players like Henderson, Calbert Cheaney, Greg Graham, Damon Bailey, etc.Plus: why Brian wanted to kick the Fab 5's ass so badly, who from those early 90s teams would win in a shooting contest, and whether or not he felt threatened by Bob Knight's recruitment of Ivan Renko (or Bob Knight's offseason threats that there might not be a spot for Evans on the next year's team).We also discuss player development in general, the shooting woes of the current program, and what it was like popping his shoulder back into place on the court.All of that and much more in this edition of Hoosier Storytime.Our private IU basketball discussion community: http://assemblycall.com/communityPlaybook Products: http://assemblycall.com/ppSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When he sent it to Jerod, he billed it as the best song he's created yet and ... it doesn't disappoint.

Jerod had the opportunity to resume his chat with Devonte Green (find Part 1 in your feed from last week), one of the few players who straddled the Tom Crean and Archie Miller Eras, and a player who brought flashes of explosive offense during one of the more offensively challenged eras of IU basketball.We cover a wide variety of topics in this follow-up conversation, including:• Whether the media should be given more access to players while they’re in college• How will more lenient NIL rules affect college players? Will it cause problems in locker rooms?• His experience leaning on IU resources for mental health support• What his childhood was like and when he started playing basketball.• How is relationship with his brother has evolved over the years• How he evolved as a young basketball player• The two guys on the current team he thinks will thrive under Mike Woodson.• What it’s like playing pickup games with guys IU is recruiting• The time he dunked on OG (whether OG will admit it or not)• The best shooter, players, dunker, leader, and passer he played with at IU• What traditions meant the most to him at IU? And what should IU do to modernize the program?And a lot more.

On April 28th, Jerod had the opportunity to chat with Steve Green, Bob Knight's first recruit and a member of the vaunted 1975 team.If you've ever heard an interview with Steve, you know that he is gregarious, high-energy, and very engaging. He certainly did not disappoint in this conversation.We cover a wide variety of topics:• What he and Brian Evans are up to with Arora Sleep.• The connection he made with Branch McCracken before ever meeting Bob Knight.• How the 1976 team has welcomed he and John Laskowski as one of their own, even though they graduated in 1975.• The story of his first technical foul, and why it was extra hypocritical for Bob Knight to chew him out that day.• His IU recruiting story.• His thoughts on why Mike Woodson will be such a good fit at IU• How he would fix IU's program-wide shooting woes.• The advice he would give to an incoming freshman.And so much more.

This week on Assembly Call Radio, we discuss Mark Emmert's extension and the NCAA, before diving into the recent tweets of the IU Basketball Account. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wait, this a 90-minute episode about a tweet? You’re damn right it is. Because the viral tweet the IU mens basketball program sent yesterday isn’t just a great story on its own; it’s a microcosm of a dramatic shift within the athletic department that has Indiana sports poised to be a national leader for years to come.First, Jerod Morris talks to longtime assistant AD Jeremy Gray (@IUJGray) about how IU’s epic troll of the most unreasonable elements of its fan base came about, and how it fits into a larger narrative about the departments commitment to NIL, having an engaging public persona, and putting athletes first.Then, assistant director of video services Andrew Brown (@IUAndrew) joins to discuss how the tweet itself came about, the “branding meetings” going on behind the scenes with IU players, and how he and the other members of the department get their inspiration for the content that has been engaging Indiana sports fans for the last year-plus.If you missed the tweet, rectify that now: https://twitter.com/IndianaMBB/status/1387087262073171971Also, here is the URL Jerod mentions off the top: http://assemblycall.com/ppSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
