Michigan appoints assistant coach Mike Boynton Jr. as its full-time men’s basketball head coach after Dusty May leaves for the NBA, according to multiple reports. The university confirms that Boynton’s interim designation is removed, making him the program’s permanent coach. The announcement follows May’s departure, which creates a vacancy that Michigan fills with an in-house hire. Reports note this is the second time Boynton receives an internal promotion at a power-conference program, reflecting his prior experience transitioning from assistant to head coach roles. Michigan’s athletic director Warde Manuel is cited as announcing the hiring, with Boynton stepping in as May’s replacement. CBS Sports reports Boynton signs a two-year deal, while other outlets describe the move as Boynton being named full-time after the interim tag is lifted. All accounts characterize the appointment as an in-house succession plan tied directly to May’s move to the NBA.
