Florida Atlantic’s Dusty May has agreed to become the new head basketball coach at Michigan.
School president Santa Ono effectively confirmed the news over social media on Saturday night.
“I am thrilled to welcome Dusty May to the University of Michigan as our new head basketball coach,” Ono wrote on Twitter.
May, 47, replaces Juwan Howard, who was fired on March 15 after five seasons with the Wolverines.
Michigan limped to an 8-24 overall record, marking the school’s worst record since 1960-61. The Wolverines dropped their ninth straight decision with a 66-57 setback to Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten conference tournament.
May won 60 games the past two seasons at FAU, leading the Owls to the Final Four in 2023. FAU lost in the first round of this year’s tournament.
Overall, May went 126-69 in six seasons at FAU. His .822 winning percentage the past two years was the fifth best in Division I, according to ESPN.
