The Dallas Mavericks gauged Duke coach Jon Scheyer’s interest before hiring Dusty May, league sources told ESPN in June. Scheyer, who coached Cooper Flagg and Dereck Lively II at Duke, said he was staying because Duke was his dream job.
May had led Michigan to a 64-13 record over two seasons and the 2026 national title. Before Michigan, he led Florida Atlantic to consecutive NCAA tournament appearances, including the 2023 Final Four.
