Mike Boynton seeks permanent head coach role at Michigan basketball

Interim coach Mike Boynton aims to remove the interim tag as head of Michigan basketball following Dusty May's departure to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. Boynton met with athletic director Warde Manuel soon after May's exit, advocating for a long-term commitment to maintain program stability. He emphasizes his prior coaching experience and familiarity with the system he has been part of for two seasons as an assistant. Boynton has stated he is preparing as if he will be the head coach, which may affect player retention given recent transfer activity.
