Dusty May bolts Michigan for Dallas Mavericks head coach role

Michigan coach Dusty May is leaving to become the Dallas Mavericks’ head coach, a decision likely influenced by the chaotic college basketball climate—NIL, transfer portal turnover, and rising roster costs—and a desire to test his coaching chops in the NBA. The Mavericks’ appeal is strengthened by Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and draft opportunities that could involve Michigan players, with three May-era Wolverines envisioned as potential first-round picks on Tuesday.
