Damon Bruce on TJD, Bob Knight, and the New Media Landscape

In this special edition episode of The Assembly Call, Jerod is joined by IU alum and Bay Area radio veteran Damon Bruce for an in-depth and wide-ranging conversation about a number of topics of interest to IU fans and grads -- chief among them, why Damon is so excited about Trayce's fit in Golden State.

Note: there are a few short instances of the connection breaking up during the first 25 minutes of the interview with Damon. They're quick and a bit awkward but don't interfere too much with the flow of conversation. Just fight through them because the conversation on the other side is worth it!

Among the topics covered:

• Why Golden State is such a good fit for Trayce 

• Why Trayce is uniquely qualified to succeed in Golden State where other rookies have failed

• The impact Draymond Green and Kevon Looney can have on Trayce's development

• Jalen's fit in L.A.

• Why Damon had horrible timing in terms of when he arrived in and left Bloomington

• The challenges and opportunities of the new media landscape

• Why fellow Back Home Network podcaster Galen Clavio is so great

• Damon's experience following IU basketball during his time at IU

• Anecdotes from taking Bob Knight's coaching class

• Why Keith Smart, Calbert Cheaney, and Chris Mullin all wanted to see Damon's notebook

And much more.
