Mavericks contact Michigan coach Dusty May regarding head coaching position
Summary

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.
