Dusty May Takes Charge of Mavericks | Texas News

Dusty May, the 49-year-old who led Michigan to a national title, is now the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks — a bold leap from his Indiana high school coaching dreams. Stepping into a franchise rebuilding after playoff droughts and major roster upheavals, May brings championship DNA and a fresh vision. With former Michigan stars Cooper Flagg and Morez Johnson Jr. now teammates, he’s already building chemistry — even joking about Johnson being his favorite. Surrounded by veterans like Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson alongside rising talent, May sees “unique pieces” ripe for greatness. He admits no one’s ever truly ready for the NBA, but he’s prepared to lead with heart, hustle, and a mission to bring joy back to Mavericks basketball.
