According to mgoblue.com, University of Michigan Director of Athletics Warde Manuel said Friday, Feb. 21 that men’s basketball head coach Dusty May has agreed to a contract extension.
“I am excited to announce that Dusty and I have agreed to a new multi-year contract,” said Manuel. “His commitment to this university and the success of the men’s basketball program has far exceeded our expectations and makes us all excited for what the future holds. I look forward to Dusty, Anna, and his family remaining a part of the fabric of this university and community for many years to come.”
May said, “I am grateful to Warde (Manuel), U-M President Santa Ono, and all the members of the Board of Regents for the trust and support they have given me as the head coach. My goal is to bring continued success to this historic program. We cannot reach that goal without the hard work that my staff and players put into this program. We have built a solid foundation; however, there is much more work to be done. I look forward to those challenges and what the future holds for me and my family in Ann Arbor.”
In his first season at the helm of Wolverine basketball, May has led the team to their first 20-win season in four years.
