Michigan’s men’s basketball program is moving forward with assistant coach Mike Boynton Jr. as interim head coach following Dusty May’s departure to the Dallas Mavericks, multiple outlets report. Yahoo Sports notes that ESPN has indicated Michigan is looking internally for the change, with Boynton—currently part of the Wolverines’ coaching staff—being considered to take over the program for the 2026-27 season in an interim role. Other reports describe the transition as an interim promotion after May leaves, with Michigan preparing Boynton for head-coaching responsibilities. One outlet also frames Boynton’s background in coaching and player recruitment, while another states that the move has been made official, citing an announcement from Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel. Across the reports, the sequence is consistent: Dusty May departs for the NBA, Michigan promotes Boynton Jr. from assistant to interim head coach, and the appointment is confirmed shortly after initial reporting.
