The Michigan basketball program is navigating a pivotal transition after Dusty May departed for an NBA role, leaving a void in the coaching staff that had been together for several seasons.
A New Era for Michigan Basketball
Mike Boynton Jr. was elevated to head coach on a two‑year agreement, bringing a fresh leadership perspective while the administration emphasized continuity at the assistant level.
Justin Joyner, who had been part of the previous staff, chose to pursue a head‑coaching opportunity at Oregon State, further reshaping the bench.
Drew Williamson and Mody Maor also left alongside May, but the program secured the services of several experienced assistants who opted to remain in Ann Arbor.
KT Harrell was promoted to an assistant role, adding depth to the coaching roster as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
The core group staying includes Kyle Church, Akeem Miskdeen, Matt Aldred, Jacob Kohn, and Brandon Gilbert, all of whom have been integral to the program's recent efforts.
Kyle Church, who serves also as director of recruiting, has been with May since his tenure at Florida Atlantic University, underscoring a long‑standing professional relationship.
Only two assistants followed May to the NBA, and Mody Maor had yet to coach a game in Ann Arbor before the transition.
