Michigan agrees to new deal with head coach Dusty May - ESPN

Michigan men's basketball coach Dusty May has agreed to a new multi-year agreement with the school, athletic director Warde Manuel announced Friday, effectively removing May from consideration for the vacancy at Indiana.

May, a former student manager at Indiana under Bob Knight from 1996 to 2000, has been expected to be one of the Hoosiers' top targets to replace Mike Woodson. Instead, the first-year head coach has cemented his position at Michigan — which he has guided to the top of the Big Ten standings entering Friday night's showdown against Michigan State.

«I am excited to announce that Dusty and I have agreed to a new multi-year contract,» Manuel said. «His commitment to this University and the success of the men's basketball program has far exceeded our expectations and makes us all excited for what the future holds. I look forward to Dusty, Anna, and his family remaining a part of the fabric of this University and community for many years to come.»

«I am grateful to Warde (Manuel), U-M President Santa Ono, and all the members of the Board of Regents for the trust and support they have given me as the head coach,» May added. «My goal is to bring continued success to this historic program. We cannot reach that goal without the hard work that my staff and players put into this program. We have built a solid foundation; however, there is much more work to be done. I look forward to those challenges and what the future holds for me and my family in Ann Arbor.»

May took over at Michigan last spring after six seasons at Florida Atlantic. He became a national name in 2023, when he guided the Owls to the Final Four as a 9-seed, finishing with a 35-4 record. They went back to the NCAA tournament last season, winning 25
