Portland Auburn, ME, October 18, 2026 —
Dusty May, identified as the new coach of NBA prospect Cooper Flagg, is one of three first-time head coaches in the league this season, according to the information provided.
The two other coaches named are Sean Sweeney, associated with the Orlando Magic, and Micah Nori, associated with the Portland Trail Blazers. The summary identifies all three as first-time head coaches but does not provide further details about their appointments or coaching backgrounds.
It also does not specify which team May coaches. While Flagg is described as an NBA prospect, no additional information is provided about his status or connection to May beyond that coaching relationship. The summary does not give dates for any of the coaching changes or define the season it refers to.
No other teams, coaches or circumstances are identified. Details such as the coaches’ prior roles, the reasons for their appointments and their plans for the season were not provided. The available information therefore establishes the names and team affiliations of the three first-time head coaches, while leaving those broader questions unanswered.
