Head coaches

Coaching changes

Michigan State

On April 12, 2022, former Michigan State head coach Danton Cole was fired.[2] On May 23, 2022, Adam Nightingale was named head coach for the Spartans.[3][4]

Michigan

During the 2022 offseason, Michigan's head coach, Mel Pearson, was accused of mistreating both players and staff during his tenure with the Wolverines.[5] On August 5, 2022, Pearson was fired.[6] Because the vacancy happened so close to the start of the next season, the Wolverines were not able to perform a typical hiring search. On August 7, 2022, Michigan promoted assistant coach Brandon Naurato to interim head coach for the 2022–23 season.[7][8]
