Summary
Trey McKenney told athletic director Warde Manuel he wants interim coach Mike Boynton to lead Michigan after Dusty May left for the Dallas Mavericks days after winning the national title.
Boynton has strong support inside the roster because he was the primary recruiter for many Wolverines, John McKenney said, arguing an outside hire would have fractured the team.
5 or 6 schools contacted the McKenney family before Michigan's June 22 team meeting, but Trey is expected to stay and his father predicted only limited roster turnover.
9.9-point scorer McKenney and guard Elliot Cadeau have already said they plan to return, and no Michigan players have publicly entered the transfer portal.
