Michigan men's basketball head coach Dusty May has reached an agreement on a contract extension to remain with the program, according to athletic director Warde Manuel. The announcement confirms the university's commitment to May following his initial seasons leading the Wolverines.
Dusty May was hired by Michigan in March 2024, originally signing a five-year deal. Before his arrival in Ann Arbor, May spent six seasons as the head coach at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), where he amassed a 126-69 record. His tenure at FAU was highlighted by a historic 35-win season in 2022-23, which culminated in a Conference USA title and the program's first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament Final Four.
Since taking over the Michigan program, May has focused on rebuilding the roster through both high school recruiting and the transfer portal. While Warde Manuel has confirmed that an agreement is in place, the specific financial terms and the exact number of years added to the contract have not yet been made public by the university. The extension comes as the program continues its transition under May's leadership in the Big Ten conference.
The athletic department is expected to release further details regarding the contract structure once the paperwork is finalized. May previously earned approximately $3.75 million annually under his original agreement with the university.
