NBA season to begin with 6 coaches in new places, including 3 first-time sideline bosses

Thanks in large part to a Final Four run at Florida Atlantic in 2023 and leading Michigan to the NCAA title last season, May has coached plenty of big games in plenty of NBA arenas and knows what it's like when those buildings are filled to the rafters.And that means, when he officially starts as coach of the Dallas Mavericks in a few days, May will have a real sense of what's coming — at least from an surroundings standpoint.
