University of Michigan head coach Dusty May has reached an agreement to become the next head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, according to reports from Shams Charania, Adam Schefter, and Pete Thamel.
The move marks a significant professional leap for May, who is coming off a highly successful tenure at the collegiate level, including leading the Wolverines to the 2026 NCAA championship. The hiring is a major move for the Mavericks organization and executive Masai Ujiri as they look to transition the team under May's leadership.
May becomes one of the latest high-profile college coaches to make the direct jump to the NBA ranks. While specific contract details have not yet been made public, the agreement solidifies the Mavericks' coaching search following their recent front-office restructuring. May's championship pedigree at Michigan was reportedly a key factor in the Mavericks' decision to pursue him for the vacancy.
