Michigan Extends Coach Dusty May's Contract, Ending Indiana Speculation

The first-year coach has revitalized Michigan basketball, earning a multi-year extension and removing himself from consideration for the Indiana vacancy.

Dusty May, in his first season as Michigan's head coach, has signed a multi-year contract extension with the Wolverines.
The extension quells speculation that May, an Indiana alum and former student manager under Bob Knight, might take over at Indiana after Mike Woodson's planned retirement.
Under May's leadership, Michigan has rebounded from a last-place finish in the Big Ten last season to a 20-6 record and second place in the conference standings.
May's initial success includes a 13-0 home record and key wins over ranked Big Ten opponents, marking Michigan's first 20-win season in four years.
Previously at Florida Atlantic, May led the program to its first Final Four appearance in 2023, solidifying his reputation as one of college basketball's top coaching talents.
