The Dallas Mavericks have reached out to Michigan coach Dusty May as they search for a new head coach following a disappointing 26-56 season. May recently led Michigan to a national title, finishing 37-3. Sources indicate that the Mavericks are exploring multiple candidates, including May and Duke's Jon Scheyer, but may prefer someone with NBA experience. Meanwhile, May is under contract with Michigan, making his departure unlikely without significant effort from Dallas.
