Just months after cutting down the nets as national champions, Michigan basketball is facing a stunning reality.
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Adam Schefter, and Shams Charania, Michigan head coach Dusty May is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, ending a remarkable two-year run in Ann Arbor and sending shockwaves through both college basketball and the NBA.
The move comes after May guided the Wolverines to the 2026 national championship, making him one of the most sought-after coaches in basketball.
May arrived at Michigan ahead of the 2024-25 season and wasted little time restoring the program to national prominence.
In just two seasons, he compiled a 64-13 record and delivered the school’s first national championship since 1989. His up-tempo style, player development, and ability to build culture quickly transformed Michigan into one of the nation’s premier programs.
