Michigan basketball has a new full-time head coach.
The Wolverines did so by simply removing the interim tag of Mike Boynton, who was the de facto leader of the program following the departure of Dusty May to take over the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks.

Boynton, who has previous head coaching experience after leading Oklahoma State from 2017-24, served as May’s assistant and defensive coordinator for two seasons at Michigan. He also has done a good job of retaining Michigan’s talent following Mays’ exit for the NBA, with several top players, incoming transfers and recruits maintaining their commitment to the Wolverines.
“Mike is a veteran assistant with strong head coaching experience and a clear understanding of the standard we expect at Michigan,” Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement announcing the move. “Over the past two seasons, he has been an invaluable member of our staff, bringing stability, leadership and perspective during an important period of success. Our players and staff believe in his vision, are committed to his leadership and are excited for the opportunity to pursue great success together this season.”
