Florida Atlantic's Dusty May has agreed to become the next men's basketball coach coach at Michigan, sources told ESPN.
Andy Miller, May's representative with Klutch Sports, was finalizing details on a long-term deal with university officials late into Saturday evening, sources said.
Several high-major programs -- including Louisville of the ACC and Vanderbilt of the SEC -- pursued May as a coaching candidate, but May ultimately became swept away with the alumni network and its fierce loyalty to the university and athletics, sources said. He believes that will help transcend some of the inherently transactional nature of the modern NIL/transfer portal era in recruiting and player retention.
May's professional climb has been a study in perseverance and patience. He landed a downtrodden FAU program six years ago for his first head coaching job, and went 126-69 without a losing season.
