Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Michigan fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
With Dusty May headed to the Dallas Mavericks, the Michigan Wolverines need a new head coach.
Michigan announced on Tuesday that they’ve elevated assistant coach Mike Boynton Jr. to head coach in an interim capacity. Boynton has prior head coaching experience at Oklahoma State, where he went 119-109.
It remains to be seen if Boynton will coach Michigan in 2026-27 or if his interim tag is similar to how Biff Poggi was named interim head football coach after Sherrone Moore was fired. In short, is Boynton’s interim status to retain Michigan’s roster while they find a full-time head coach? Or is Michigan seriously considering him for full-time duties?
In this edition of SB Nation Reacts, we want to know if you think Boynton should be Michigan’s full-time head coach. Vote below.
Based on Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel’s statement, it seems like Boynton could merely be holding the fort down while Michigan tries to find a home run hire after winning the national championship.
“With summer workouts starting this week, Mike Boynton has been appointed head coach in an interim capacity,” Manuel said. “Mike has been an invaluable member of our staff and a respected leader throughout his career. He knows what Michigan Basketball represents and has earned the trust and respect of our student-athletes and everyone in our program. His experience, character, and commitment to our values make him the right person to guide the team during this transition.”
