jun 22 2026The Dallas Mavericks have found their replacement for Jason Kidd. The Texas franchise has turned to Dusty May as their new head coach, one of the most sought-after emerging figures in American college basketball and recent NCAA champion with the University of Michigan.
May's arrival represents one of the first major decisions by Masai Ujiri since assuming the presidency of basketball operations for the franchise. The Canadian executive has opted for an innovative profile with an upward trajectory to lead a project seeking to regain prominence in the Western Conference.
May leaves Michigan after two outstanding seasons, with a record of 64 wins and 13 losses, culminated with the conquest of the national college championship. Before his time with the Wolverines, he also stood out leading Florida Atlantic, where he compiled a record of 126 wins and 69 losses between 2018 and 2023, taking the program to historic heights.
Now he faces the biggest challenge of his career: making the jump to the NBA and leading a Mavericks team beginning a new chapter following Kidd's departure. Dallas is confident that his ability to develop talent and build competitive teams can translate to the highest level of professional basketball.
