Dusty May leaves Michigan for Mavericks role after disillusioning Big Ten meeting

Dusty May, who had just guided Michigan to a championship, decided to depart for a position with the Dallas Mavericks. The move followed a conversation with Mavericks general manager Mike Schmitz, who asked May if he was interested in the job. May said the timing was perfect because he had just attended the Big Ten’s spring meetings, where he left feeling that the sport’s problems would never be solved. His frustration with the conference’s outlook prompted the career shift.
