A person with knowledge of the deal says the Dallas Mavericks and Dusty May of national champion Michigan are finalizing an agreement for the coach to make the jump from college to the NBA. May and the Wolverines won the NCAA championship with a 69-63 win over UConn in April to wrap up a 34-3 season. That came three years after the 49-year-old led Florida Atlantic to its only Final Four appearance. May replaces Jason Kidd, who was let go two weeks after Masai Ujiri was hired as president of basketball operations and alternate governor of the Mavericks.
