Florida Atlantic head coach Dusty May, center, talks to an official as Florida Atlantic player Nicholas Boyd watches during the first half of a first-round college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament, Friday, March 22, 2024, in New York. BOCA RATON, Fla. — Dusty May's hiring was announced Sunday by Michigan, a move that brings him back to his Big Ten roots and ends his six-season stint that included a Final Four run a year ago at Florida Atlantic.
Michigan President Santa Ono announced the hiring on Saturday night in a social media post. May told his now-former team at FAU the news on Sunday morning, shortly before Michigan's announcement. May got questions about his future for the last several weeks, including when FAU lost to Northwestern on Friday in the first round of the NCAA tourney. His stance never wavered: His plan was to listen to those who called, then decide what was best.“College basketball is very fluid. Just click on Twitter to see,” May said after FAU's loss on Friday. “No idea what’s next for anybody in our locker room. I love it at FAU. I love coaching these guys, and that’s it.
May had that sort of success at a school with a $33 million budget for the entire athletic department. Michigan's planned athletics budget for this academic year is $215 million.
