Dothan, AL, October 15, 2026 —
The NBA season is beginning with six coaches in new positions, including three who are making their debuts as head coaches in the league. Dusty May is among the new coaches noted, with experience from successful NCAA runs.
The available information does not identify the teams involved or specify which positions the six coaches have taken. It also does not name the other coaches or clarify whether May is one of the three making an NBA head-coaching debut. Those details were not provided.
May’s NCAA experience is the only background detail included in the summary. It describes his runs as successful but provides no seasons, results, schools or other particulars. No additional information was provided about the circumstances of his appointment or his coaching record.
The figures offer a limited snapshot of coaching changes at the start of the season: six coaches are in new positions, and three are new to NBA head coaching. Without team assignments or names for the other coaches, the scope and distribution of the changes cannot be determined from the information available.
The summary does not provide dates beyond the season’s beginning, details about any prior NBA coaching roles, or statements from the coaches or teams. Accordingly, the changes can be reported only in broad terms. Further specifics—including May’s position and team, and the identities of the other coaches—were not provided.
