Mavericks hire Dusty May as head coach after national title run

The Dallas Mavericks have hired Dusty May as their new head coach, following his successful tenure at Michigan where he led the team to a national championship in April. May departs the Wolverines just two months after agreeing to a new contract, although it was not finalized. His arrival marks a significant move for a Mavericks organization looking to rebuild around Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg after a controversial trade involving Luka Dončić. Currently, May has not coached at the NBA level, and he is previously recognized for leading Florida Atlantic to the 2023 Final Four. Following his hire, the Mavericks aim to enhance their performance ahead of the upcoming NBA season.
