Michigan basketball assistant Drew Williamson leaves for Mavericks

Drew Williamson has departed from the Michigan basketball program after serving as an assistant coach and director of player development. He is reportedly joining the Dallas Mavericks, where his former boss, Dusty May, is the head coach. Williamson's exit marks the third departure from Michigan's national championship staff, following May and Justin Joyner, who is now the head coach at Oregon State. Interim head coach Mike Boynton Jr. must now fill two coaching vacancies. Williamson was set for a significant salary increase at Michigan for the upcoming season after signing a new contract just months before his departure.
