Dusty May is leaving Michigan to become the head coach of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, following a national championship run with the Wolverines. This marks the first time since 1988 that a men's college basketball coach has moved to the NBA immediately after winning a title.
With May's departure, Michigan faces uncertainty regarding its roster, as players will have a 15-day window to enter the transfer portal once the new head coach is announced. The Wolverines are currently ranked No. 3 in early season predictions, despite losing four starters, and will need to focus on retaining their remaining talent as they prepare for the next season.
