Episode Details

Mike Boynton Jr. is now head coach of the University of Michigan men’s basketball team, stepping into the role after Dusty May’s departure — and bringing with him deep familiarity with the program, its players, and its system. Already off to a winning start, Boynton’s focus is on continuity: he’s keeping the roster intact, honoring the recruiting class May built, and sticking with the proven game plan. The team’s championship run last year helped unify the squad around a shared goal — and Boynton’s two years as an assistant gave him instant credibility and buy-in. While the athletic director’s departure in 2026 is out of his hands, Boynton’s laser-focused on the court. Ahead, a nine-day European trip to Lithuania and Croatia in August will serve as a crucial test of chemistry and lineup potential before the season begins — all in the name of building a championship-caliber team.
