Mike Boynton Jr., who was named head coach of the Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team earlier this month, has announced the addition of Mike Martin to his coaching staff as an assistant coach. The move comes as Boynton seeks to reshape the program's staff ahead of the upcoming season.
Martin spent 14 years at Brown University, where he became the school's winningest coach and earned Ivy League Coach of the Year honors in 2018‑19. His tenure was marked by a transformative offensive system and the program's first 20‑win season, culminating in a run to the Ivy League Championship Game in 2023‑24.
Martin’s Ivy League pedigree brings proven winning culture
In a statement, Boynton praised Martin as a "tremendous teacher of the game" who will primarily work with the Wolverines' offense. He emphasized Martin's ability to achieve results with limited resources and his experience as a head coach, qualities that align with the program's current objectives.
The Wolverines still have one assistant coaching position and a director of basketball operations role to fill, but they have already promoted KT Harrell from director of basketball operations to an on‑court assistant role. This promotion adds depth to the staff as Boynton finalizes the non‑conference schedule and completes the remaining hires within the week.
