Summary
Mike Boynton will lead Michigan in an interim role as summer workouts begin this week, athletic director Warde Manuel said after Dusty May left for the Dallas Mavericks' head coaching job.
Manuel said Michigan was disappointed to lose May but credited him with restoring the program in just 2 seasons and delivering its first national championship in 37 years.
The statement cast Boynton as the stabilizing choice for the transition, citing his experience, standing within the staff and trust from players.
Michigan framed the move as a setback rather than a reset, saying the program's championship standard remains intact despite May's abrupt exit to the NBA.
