What happened: Michigan named Mike Boynton Jr. its next men's basketball head coach on Friday, agreeing to a two-year contract. Boynton had served as interim coach since Dusty May left the reigning champion Wolverines for the Dallas Mavericks last month.

Why it matters: The hire gives Michigan continuity after May's midseason departure broke up the staff behind the program's title run. The two-year term is a short runway for Boynton to establish the job as his own.

What to watch: Michigan's staff and roster moves under Boynton are the next markers to watch as the offseason continues.
