You might be asking the wrong questions. Not bad ones. Just ones that never get past small talk. And if that's happening in your voir dire… you're missing the moment where jurors actually connect. Because connection doesn't come from: "Where are you from?" "What do you do?" "Have you ever…?" It comes from something deeper. From getting jurors to talk about what they value and actually staying there long enough for it to mean something. Most attorneys don't do this. Not because they don't care… but because they've never been shown how. And that gap? It shows up later in your damages. Coach K and I break all of this down in this week's podcast: What a resonant conversation actually is Why it changes the way jurors see your case And how to start shifting your questions (without it feeling forced or awkward) If your jury feels a little disconnected… this is likely why. Love, Sari Download FREE Worksheet Quote: "What we're really wanting from our jurors is to invest in the process. And the best time to do that is in voir dire — when they can talk about themselves and what they value… because at its core, what our plaintiff attorneys are fighting for are human values, things that we all care about. And that's what was taken in every single case." Sari de la Motte Can't get enough of me?

On Time Machine Tuesday, Bomani Jones and Howard Bryant go back to the 1991 Final Four and the stunning upset that turned Duke into college basketball's ultimate villain.

They revisit how UNLV “blackened” the sport, why Duke was seen as the clean-cut “Southern Ivy,” the NCAA's war on Tark, Prop 48 and Prop 42, and why this loss hit so hard for Black America.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageReplacing a legend usually breaks a program, not because the new leader is “bad,” but because the old standard was built on rare chemistry, authority, and time. That's why John Scheyer's rise at Duke basketball feels so unusual: he's stacking wins, stacking trophies, and doing it while resisting the easiest trap of all, trying to become Coach K 2.0.We walk through a simple three-pillar blueprint for coaching succession and leadership transition. First is psychological separation: keeping Duke's elite standards while building a modern voice that players can actually follow. We dig into the idea that managing people is the majority of the job and why that skill doesn't automatically transfer from mentor to assistant. Then we get tactical, looking at an analytics-driven defensive identity centered on rim protection, a teachable foundation for young rosters and one-and-done turnover. Finally, we zoom out to the operating system: a scientific, scalable organizational model that reduces fragility, fights groupthink, and treats decision-making like a discipline.Along the way we talk regression to the mean, why most “following a legend” stories go sideways, and the questions Scheyer asks that many coaches never consider, like whether confidence can be predicted and measured in recruiting. If you care about college basketball, Duke, sports leadership, or building systems that survive turnover, this one is packed with practical takeaways. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves March Madness, and leave a review with your pick for the hardest coaching shoes to fill.Key Points from the Episode:• the pressure of inheriting a court, banners, and instant title demands • regression to the mean as the hidden trap in coaching succession • Scheyer's early results as an outlier case in college basketball leadership • psychological separation by keeping the standard but changing the voice • why managing people is the majority of the job • shifting from perimeter-first habits to rim-protection defensive priorities • building a scientific, scalable operating model instead of a monarch system • using human psychology and data to reduce groupthink and improve decisions hit that subscribe button, please, right now.

Send us Fan MailIconic Seasons: Duke's 1990–91 Redemption and Banner OneHost Aaron Meyer recounts the 1990–91 Duke Blue Devils' transformation from humiliation to national champions. After being demolished 103–73 by UNLV in the 1990 national semifinal and losing key veterans, Duke was widely dismissed, but Mike Krzyzewski added freshman Grant Hill and relied on sophomores Christian Laettner and Bobby Hurley, whose leadership matured after a “whine tape” exposed his negative reactions. A tough early loss at Virginia prompted a punishing practice where Hill broke his nose, and Duke later found its defensive, disciplined identity, sweeping North Carolina in the regular season before being routed by UNC in the ACC title game, when Krzyzewski told them they would win it all. In Indianapolis, Duke upset unbeaten UNLV on late plays by Hurley, Brian Davis, and Laettner's free throws, then beat Kansas for the championship, punctuated by Hurley's lob that Hill saved for a dunk and Davis's late dunk, earning Duke's first title and launching a dynasty.00:00 UNLV Upset Opening01:39 Duke Written Off03:05 Humiliation In Denver04:53 Grant Hill Commits06:24 Hurley Learns Leadership08:15 Toughness Practice Turning Point10:54 Beating North Carolina12:53 ACC Title Loss Promise15:05 Tournament Run To Indy16:15 Reliving The 103 73 Film17:47 UNLV Semifinal Miracle21:56 No Celebrating Yet23:09 Kansas Title Game Highlights27:31 Banner One Legacy30:12 Lessons And FarewellSupport the showDid you know we are one of the Top 30 Collage Podcasts in the World!https://podcast.feedspot.com/college_basketball_podcasts/?feedid=5529823&_src=f1_featured_emailSupport the Pod or Binge the Entire Season Now!https://www.buzzsprout.com/1269236/supporthttps://youtube.com/@IconicSeasonsConnect on Socialhttps://www.instagram.com/ncaaiconicseasons/
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA coaching legend leaves and the program is supposed to wobble. Duke doesn't. We dig into the story behind Duke basketball's stubborn ability to stay on top, from the risky decision that once brought Coach K to Durham to the new reality of John Scheyer taking the keys and winning right away.We talk honestly about why so many college basketball fans resent Duke: blue blood power, huge valuation, stacked recruiting classes, and the one-and-done pipeline that can make rosters feel like NBA waiting rooms. Then we pivot to what really fuels the backlash: sustained dominance. Even after Mike Krzyzewski steps away, Duke keeps putting up an elite winning percentage under Scheyer, and the “regression to the mean” people expect from a successor just doesn't show up.We replay the emotion and symbolism of Scheyer first home opener as head coach at Cameron Indoor Stadium, standing under banners that define the standard. From there, we run through the results from his first four seasons, including ACC titles, deep NCAA Tournament runs, and the kind of year-to-year consistency that usually takes a decade to build. We also set up part two by previewing how Scheyer differentiates himself with a more modern, analytically driven approach built around rim protection and a disciplined organizational model.If you care about leadership after an icon, college basketball coaching, or how winning cultures survive roster churn, hit play, share this with a friend who loves to hate Duke, and leave a review. What do you think matters most in a great coaching succession?Key Points from the Episode: • the behind-the-scenes hiring story that brought Coach K to Duke despite a 9 and 17 season • why Duke's blue blood status and one-and-done era fuels resentment • how banners and expectations shape the pressure on a successor coach • John Scheyer first night as head coach at Cameron Indoor Stadium • a fast breakdown of Shire's season-by-season record, ACC results, and NCAA Tournament runs • why Scheyer .834 winning percentage suggests a sustainable transition Be sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resources.Until next time, keep getting your mojo up.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

RUNDOWN Mitch opens the show from Los Angeles, where he's in town to watch Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs play the Clippers—but not before attending a Division II baseball series featuring players who grew up with his sons. The conversation shifts to March Madness, with Mitch explaining why he believes the top teams—especially from the Big 12—are clearly ahead of the rest of the field. The Seahawks No-Table crew breaks down a turbulent offseason following their Super Bowl win. The trio discusses key departures in free agency, the team's deliberate approach to the salary cap, and why Seattle may rely on player development and the draft rather than splashy signings. Mitch talks with Tennessee State head coach Nolan Smith after the former Duke All-American and national champion led the Tigers to an Ohio Valley Conference title and an NCAA Tournament berth in his first year running the program. Smith reflects on learning the coaching profession under Mike Krzyzewski, navigating career setbacks after leaving Duke, and how those experiences shaped him as a leader. Mitch and Queens University head coach Grant Leonard talk after the Charlotte-based Royals captured the Atlantic Sun title and punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament in their first season eligible for Division I postseason play. Leonard explains how a balanced offense—with six players averaging double figures—helped fuel the run, while also discussing the reality of roster building in the transfer portal era. Mitch welcomes back North Dakota State head coach Dave Richman, whose Bison are headed to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time under his leadership after another Summit League title and a 27-win season. Richman talks about balancing loyalty to Fargo with the reality that successful mid-major coaches are constantly linked to bigger jobs, while also explaining how roster building has changed in the portal and NIL era. Mitch talks with Troy head coach Scott Cross after the Sun Belt regular-season and tournament champion Trojans earned their second straight NCAA Tournament berth. Cross explains how he rebuilt the roster after losing several starters to bigger NIL deals by promoting reserves who helped the program reach last year's tournament.

The Dirty Thirty returns, and it's jam-packed full of stories this week. We've got a brand new 30 minutes of the very best tales from our shows. Let's go for a ride! This week, we start off with one of Door Bumper Clear's most long-awaited guests, Randy LaJoie, and in this segment, he talks about following the Intimidator at Talladega, how he still hates Mark Martin's Winn Dixie car, and his MASSIVE wreck at Daytona. Then, we wanted to make sure we heard Denny right, but on Actions Detrimental, he says we could see up to 4 SECONDS of fall-off at Darlington! For the very first time, but not the last, Dirty Thirty features Sons & Daughters, Shannon Spake's new show where she talks to remarkable people with relatable pasts. This week was Coach K., just in time for college basketball's most important time of the year. Following that up is Brad Keselowski, who filled in for Dale Jr. while he was on vacation this week. The topic he wanted to talk about? Looking back, he sees how smart a move Justin Marks made in getting Shane van Gisbergen into the Cup Series. This leads Brad to tell a Jack Roush story of his own, which we know you'll love. We end this show with one of the best tales we've ever heard, from an all-time classic episode, Andy Petree's famous trick spoiler. If you haven't heard this one before, you are in for a real treat. This week is a big one! We hope you enjoy all these moments from our shows. We'll see you next week on The Dirty Thirty! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
