The University of Michigan has appointed Dusty May as the new men's basketball coach, succeeding Juwan Howard.

May has a successful coaching background from Florida Atlantic University, including two Conference-USA titles and a record 35-win season.

His coaching philosophy involves a fast-paced offense and emphasizes player development and roster adaptation.

Michigan has signed May to a five-year contract worth an average of $3.75 million per year, with incentives for success.

The university faces the challenge of roster reconstruction after several players left, with May at the forefront of recruiting efforts.

The hiring is considered a low-risk move with high potential, generating excitement for the future of Michigan Basketball.

Oklahoma State University is also seeking a new men's basketball coach following Michigan's swift acquisition of May.
