DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks are in the final stages of signing Dusty May, coach of the national champion Michigan Wolverines, for a position in the NBA, according to a source who prefers to remain anonymous due to the deal’s pending status. May has been a celebrated figure after leading Michigan to an NCAA championship victory over UConn with a 69-63 score in April, marking the culmination of an impressive 34-3 season.
Under May’s guidance, the Wolverines made history by being the first team to score at least 90 points in five consecutive NCAA Tournament games. This achievement arrives three years after May, aged 49, successfully brought Florida Atlantic into the Final Four in its history. Following his tenure there, the Owls revisited the NCAA tournament in 2024 before May’s recruitment by Michigan.
Dusty May is poised to replace Jason Kidd, who was dismissed two weeks following Masai Ujiri’s appointment as president of basketball operations and alternate governor of the Mavericks.
In related news, the Michigan Athletic Director expressed that May has agreed to remain with the Wolverines for ‘many years to come.’ Additionally, the NBA draft brings speculation over the future of Cameron Boozer and Darryn Peterson, questioning if they could possibly fall to the Chicago Bulls at the No. 4 pick.
Historical reminders surface as well, with the mention of Michael Jordan’s selection by the Bulls on this day in 1984, having been the third pick in the NBA draft. The New York Knicks, meanwhile, bask in their recent NBA victory, celebrating with a parade filled with joyous fans and celebrities.
