Michigan men’s basketball is reportedly considering assistant coach Mike Boynton Jr. to serve as interim head coach, according to multiple outlets citing ESPN. The reports connect the potential move to Dusty May’s departure from Michigan, with May reportedly leaving to take a role with the Dallas Mavericks. In that scenario, Boynton would take over Michigan’s program for the interim period ahead of the 2026-27 season. One outlet frames the development as Michigan not having to look far for a temporary replacement, pointing to Boynton’s existing role on the staff. Another report adds background on Boynton, noting he has previously served as a head coach and has NBA-related draft experience. While details on the exact timing and length of any interim appointment are not specified in the provided accounts, all sources describe the same central development: Michigan is weighing a promotion of Boynton Jr. after May’s reported move to the Mavericks.
