Drew Williamson, an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the University of Michigan men’s basketball program, has accepted a position on the Dallas Mavericks’ staff, a move that follows the recent departure of head coach Dusty May.
The transition was underscored on social media, where Williamson was seen in Mavericks gear throwing passes to former Michigan player Morez Johnson Jr., highlighting his integration into the NBA franchise’s roster.
A Shifting Coaching Landscape
His exit represents the third loss from last year’s national championship coaching staff, after former assistant Justin Joyner took over as head coach at Oregon State University.
Interim head coach Mike Boynton Jr. now must fill two vacancies, with Mody Maor also confirming his move to Dallas after previous head‑coaching roles at Nagasaki Velca in Japan and the New Zealand Breakers in the Australian National Basketball League.
The ripple effects stretch across the collegiate and professional scenes, linking Michigan, Texas, Oregon and international leagues as the basketball community watches the next chapter unfold for these seasoned recruiters.
