Dallas Mavericks name coaching staff under Dusty May
The Mavericks confirmed their 2026/27 staff: Dusty May as head coach, with Willie Green, Garrett Temple and five other assistants joining him.
Dallas have confirmed their coaching staff for the 2026/27 season, with Dusty May at the helm, who arrives from Michigan after having run a college programme rather than sat on an NBA bench.
May's assistants include Garrett Temple, who has just closed a 16-year NBA playing career and takes up coaching for the first time. Joe Boylan, Drew Williamson, Mo Maor, Rob Fodor and Sam Hershberger complete the group of assistants.
Temple's switch from locker room to clipboard is the more unusual move here, and how quickly he adapts will say something about whether playing careers of that length translate into coaching instincts.
