What happened: The Dallas Mavericks officially announced Dusty May as their new head coach. May is expected to be at the NBA Draft in Brooklyn tonight, joined by three of his former Michigan players: Aday Mara, Morez Johnson Jr. and Yaxel Lendeborg.

Why it matters: May becomes the first college coach to step straight into an NBA job since John Beilein in 2019, making his hire a notable bet on campus pedigree. The move sets Dallas's leadership in place at a pivotal moment, with the franchise tabbing May to set its draft course.

What to watch: Watch whether May's presence at the draft hints at Dallas's interest in his former Michigan players as the first round unfolds tonight in Brooklyn.
