By keeping most of Michigan's team intact this offseason, it appears interim head coach Mike Boynton has earned the trust of the University and been awarded a two-year deal.
It has been less than a month since Dusty May left Michigan after winning a national championship and took a job in the NBA with the Dallas Mavericks. The University moved quickly to name Boynton the interim at the time, and he was handed the difficult task of retaining the roster that May had built, which many consider one of the strongest in the country and once again a Big Ten favorite.
Ohio State fans kept tabs on the story as no one likes it when their arch-rivals succeed, much less at the level that the Wolverines had done. With May in charge, it seemed like the Wolverines had the potential to be a thorn in the side of Ohio State for years to come. With Boynton, the future is unclear. Boynton, 44, is best known for his seven-year run as head coach at Oklahoma State. He went 119-109 with the Cowboys, highlighted by a 21-9 record in 2020-21.
After going 12-20 in 2023-24, Oklahoma State decided to part ways with its head coach, and he resurfaced as an ******* istant coach in Ann Arbor.
It would be safe to ******* ume that Boynton's ability to keep most of the roster intact is one of the reasons he was awarded the new contract. But after coming off a national championship season, the margin of error that will be afforded him may be slim.
