Michigan promoted Mike Boynton Jr. as its full-time head coach on Friday, removing his interim tag and awarding him a two-year contract after Dusty May departed for the NBA's Dallas Mavericks.
"Mike is a veteran assistant with strong head coaching experience and a clear understanding of the standard we expect at Michigan," said athletic director Warde Manuel in a statement.
"Over the past two seasons, he has been an invaluable member of our staff, bringing stability, leadership, and perspective during an important period of success. Our players and staff believe in his vision, are committed to his leadership, and are excited for the opportunity to pursue great success together this season."
Before serving as an assistant under May for the past two campaigns, Boynton spent seven seasons as the head coach of Oklahoma State, where he compiled a 119-109 record and one NCAA Tournament appearance.
Boynton helped the Wolverines through a prosperous two-year stretch, highlighted by a 2025 Big Ten Tournament championship, a 2026 Big Ten regular-season title, and the program's second national championship.
"I'm grateful to Warde for his confidence and thankful for the opportunity to lead this program," said Boynton. "We have built a championship culture and a standard that everyone associated with this program takes great pride in."
Key members of Michigan's roster have committed to staying with the school since May's exit on June 22, as Elliot Cadeau, Trey McKenney, and incoming guard Brandon McCoy Jr. are all set to remain on the roster.
