Michigan Extends Coach Dusty May’s Contract, Quelling Indiana Speculation

The first-year coach, who revitalized Michigan basketball, commits to a multi-year deal as Indiana rumors are put to rest.

  • Michigan announced a multi-year contract extension for head coach Dusty May on Friday, solidifying his future with the program.
  • May has led Michigan to a 20-6 record and first place in the Big Ten standings in his debut season, a stark turnaround from last year's last-place finish.
  • The extension comes as speculation linked May, an Indiana alum and former student manager under Bob Knight, to the Hoosiers' upcoming coaching vacancy.
  • May expressed gratitude to Michigan’s administration and reaffirmed his commitment to building long-term success with the Wolverines.
  • The 48-year-old coach gained national recognition in 2023 by leading Florida Atlantic to a historic Final Four run before taking over at Michigan.
