Overview
- Reporting on Sunday says Dusty May is in the early stages of assembling his first Dallas Mavericks coaching staff and is prioritizing assistants with NBA head-coaching experience.
- Former New Orleans Pelicans coach Willie Green is a top target who is also being pursued by the Golden State Warriors, creating direct competition for his services.
- Former Milwaukee Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin and Miami Heat consultant Noah LaRoche are additional names that league insiders have mentioned as expected candidates for May’s bench.
- The staffing reports come from NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer and are described as league-sourced reporting rather than confirmed hires at this time.
- May’s push for veteran assistants reflects the Mavericks’ aim to speed the transition for their young players and follows his move from Michigan, which has prompted roster and recruiting uncertainty at the college program.
