Dusty May is leaving the University of Michigan to pursue a coaching opportunity in the NBA, according to reports. The move marks a significant departure for the Wolverines basketball program after May spent two highly successful seasons in Ann Arbor.
During his tenure at Michigan, May compiled an impressive 64-13 record. While he had reportedly ruled out other collegiate coaching vacancies during this off-season, the allure of the professional ranks has long been an interest for the head coach. This transition follows a rapid rise in the coaching ranks for May, who has become one of the most respected names in the sport.
Prior to joining Michigan, May rose to national prominence at FAU. He led the Owls to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances, highlighted by a historic run to the Final Four in 2023. His track record of consistent success at both the mid-major and high-major levels made him a prime candidate for NBA organizations looking to bolster their coaching staffs.
