Dusty A. May (born December 30, 1976) is an American college basketball coach, currently the men's basketball head coach at the University of Michigan. He was previously the head coach for Florida Atlantic University from 2018 to 2024, leading the Owls to the NCAA Final Four in 2023.

Coaching career

Early years and Florida Atlantic

After graduating from Eastern Greene High School in Indiana in 1995, May served as a student manager at Indiana under Bob Knight as an undergraduate from 1996 to 2000.[2] After graduation, he had video and administrative roles with both USC and Indiana before landing his first assistant coaching job at Eastern Michigan, where he was on staff for the 2005–2006 season.[3] May then had subsequent stops at Murray State, and UAB, where he served under former Indiana head coach Mike Davis.[4] He joined the staff at Louisiana Tech where he was an assistant under both Kerry Rupp and Mike White.[5]

May followed White to take an assistant coaching job at Florida, where he served from 2015 to 2018 before being named the head coach at Florida Atlantic on March 22, 2018, replacing Michael Curry.[6][7][8] As head coach at Florida Atlantic he compiled a 126–69 record, including a Final Four appearance in 2023, the first in school history. May never finished a season with a losing record.[9]

University of Michigan

On March 23, 2024, May was named the head coach at University of Michigan, agreeing to a five-year contract, with an average value of $3.75 million annually.[9][10][11] In his first month as head coach, May garnered seven new roster commitments in a five-day span, from April 19 to April 24.[12] He added his eighth offseason commitment on April 29, his former star center at FAU, Vladislav Goldin.[13] Through November, the first month of the 2024-25 season, May led Michigan to a 6-1 record, just two shy of the Wolverines previous season’s win total, including being the Fort Myers Tip-Off champions.[14]
