Mike Boynton Jr. adds two staff members to Michigan basketball

Michigan basketball head coach Mike Boynton Jr. finalized his inaugural coaching staff on Sept. 2 with two new appointments. Bertram “Buzzy” Caruthers, formerly an assistant at Ball State, will serve as the director of player development. He brings two decades of experience spanning high school, junior college, and Division I levels, including a previous stint as Nebraska’s director of player development. Nick Szczechowski, a recent Michigan graduate and former head student manager, was named the director of basketball operations. He replaces KT Harrell, who transitioned to an assistant coaching position earlier this off-season. These hires complete a staff that also includes assistants Mike Martin and Dylan Murphy alongside returning coaches Kyle Church and Akeem Miskdeen. The program continues to navigate roster concerns, including an ACL injury to Brandon McCoy Jr. and the ongoing legal efforts of Roddy Gayle Jr. to rejoin the team.
