The Dallas Mavericks have had exploratory conversations with Jon Scheyer of Duke and Dusty May of Michigan for their head coaching vacancy. Scheyer recruited and coached Cooper Flagg at Duke.

Both Scheyer and May are entrenched in the college game at their respective schools, but there has still been outreach to determine whether there is any mutual interest.

Scheyer has maintained Duke's position as the preeminent collegiate program following the retirement of Mike Krzyzewski and the transitions into the NIL era.

May led the Wolverines to the national championship this past season in just his second year with the school after being hired from Florida Atlantic.
