Michigan men's basketball head coach Dusty May has secured a multi-year contract extension following a successful first season, leading the Wolverines to a 20-5 record and a strong 12-2 standing in the Big Ten.

The extension, announced by Athletic Director Warde Manuel on February 21, 2025, adds a year to May's existing five-year deal, now extending through 2030.

Manuel praised May's commitment and success in revitalizing the program, emphasizing that the decision for the extension was based on overall performance rather than just recent results.

May aims to continue building on the program's success, highlighting the hard work of his staff and players.

Fans reacted positively on social media to the contract news, expressing relief and enthusiasm about May's future at Michigan.

Under May's leadership, the Wolverines have effectively rebuilt their roster, integrating seven transfers and four freshmen, including standout players like Vladislav Goldin.

This season, May has exceeded expectations, transforming a struggling team into a competitive squad poised for the NCAA Tournament.

Looking ahead, May has secured a top-35 recruiting class for the next season, featuring notable prospects such as Michigan Mr. Basketball finalist Trey McKenney.

The new agreement also increases the salary pool for assistant coaches and enhances investment in program resources, including Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) funding.

May's decision to remain at Michigan has implications for the head coaching search at Indiana, where he has connections as a former student manager.

After a recent victory over Indiana, May expressed his happiness at Michigan and dismissed speculation about returning to the Hoosiers.

On the day of the contract announcement, May was also named to the watchlist for the Naismith Coach of the Year award, recognizing his outstanding performance this season.
