College basketball’s defending national champions just lost their superstar head coach.
Dusty May, whose meteoric rise in the profession crescendoed in April by leading Michigan to the national championship, is headed to the Dallas Mavericks to be that organization’s next head coach. It’s a move that sent shock waves through college basketball Monday morning, both because of losing one of the sport’s top young minds and because of the potential for a late-June coaching search at an elite program like Michigan.
