Overview

  • Mike Martin will join Mike Boynton Jr.'s staff, which Michigan announced Monday, making him the first confirmed addition to the new coaching group.
  • Martin is leaving Brown after 14 seasons and departs as the program's winningest coach with 171 career victories.
  • Michigan elevated Boynton to head coach after Dusty May left for the Dallas Mavericks, and the program has lost multiple assistants this summer, creating several vacancies for Boynton to fill.
  • Martin was named Ivy League Coach of the Year in 2019 and is known for recruiting and player development despite not taking Brown to an NCAA Tournament, skills Boynton highlighted in the hire announcement.
  • The program says it will add more staffers as needed and is focused on filling the remaining roles quickly to support recruiting and keep the current roster intact during the transfer-portal period.
