Dusty May Leaves Michigan To Become Head Coach Of Mavericks
Dusty May has agreed to leave Michigan to become head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. May led the Wolverines to the 2026 national championship and he exits the program several months later following the recruiting cycle. May previously was head coach of Florida Atlantic where he led the school to the 2023 Final Four. May is the first college head coach to go directly to the NBA since John Beilein left Michigan to become head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. May will inherit a Mavericks' roster led by Cooper Flagg. Masai Ujiri parted ways with Jason Kidd as head coach soon after he was hired to run the basketball operations department. Kidd had 40 million over four seasons remaining on his contract. The Mavericks also had interest in hiring Jon Scheyer away from Duke.
