The University of Michigan has its next head coach.
Mike Boynton Jr. will serve as the program’s next head coach after Dusty May departed to the Dallas Mavericks, Michigan announced on Friday.
Despite losing May, Michigan was able to retain freshman recruit Quinn Costello and its promising freshman class.
Boynton will lead the Wolverines on a two-year contract after serving as a member of May’s staff in the last two seasons.
“Mike is a veteran assistant with strong head coaching experience and a clear understanding of the standard we expect at Michigan,” University of Michigan Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics Warde Manuel said. “Over the past two seasons, he has been an invaluable member of our staff, bringing stability, leadership and perspective during an important period of success. Our players and staff believe in his vision, are committed to his leadership and are excited for the opportunity to pursue great success together this season.”
The Wolverines will look to stay competitive after losing their head coach and several key players to the NBA.
