Mike Boynton Jr. is set to hire former Brown head coach Mike Martin to his staff at Michigan, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Martin has served as Brown’s head coach for the past 14 years. The 2019 Ivy League Coach of the Year amassed a 171-202 record with the Bears (pretty good with Harvard, Yale and Princeton to worry about) and will be making his first trek outside the Ivy League with this hiring.
Martin played at Brown from 2000-2004 and played briefly overseas before joining Brown as an assistant coach. He took an assistant role at Penn, which he held from 2006-2012, before returning to Brown as head coach in 2012 at the age of 29.
Boynton was named Michigan’s full-time head coach on July 10 and will have 3 more assistant roles to hire this offseason. As it currently stands, Martin, Akeem Miskdeen and Kyle Church are the only members of Boynton’s staff.
Boynton, of course, takes over for Dusty May following his surprise departure for the NBA, where he took a job as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. May will coach former Wolverines star Morez Johnson Jr. in Dallas.
