Michigan hiring Dusty May as head coach I CBS Sports

[@gheuk984]

It's a good hire for Michigan.

[@wheel631]

I like this hire a lot - UM Basketball really needed a fresh start

[@rand49er]

This is exciting. I hope the players are happy. As an alum, I'm thrilled about this hire. Go Blue!

[@robertgasper2495]

I would expect Michigan to get 14 - 16 wins next year. Michigan should start getting solid recruits and make the Sweet 16 and probably the Final Four in the next 5 years. No more swinging at opposing coaches and blaming it on your upbringing. No more toxic program environment. An adult is in charge now.

[@perfectblue8443]

At last, the coach Michigan deserves. A real coach

[@daisyjuarez2557]

Wow I love it good for dusty

[@robertjulieannanalett1691]

Always choose the leaders in the best the Block M prevails

[@michaelcertain415]

Saying Michigan hired him because they don't want someone who will "take away some of the spotlight from football...but nothing to be done at the expense of what the football program is trying to do" is such contrived garbage. It just shows how little you know about the University of Michigan. Excellence is expected from all the programs, athletic and academic alike. The bar is high for everyone, basketball included. Yes, the football program is the most prominent program at the school. But Michigan wanted the best person available for the basketball job. That was the only consideration, and they got their guy. Don't believe this, ask John Beilein.

[@Jimbo249]

Just commented the exact same thing. I have no idea who this "reporter" is but when he started saying that I had to turn off the video. That is something somebody with absolutely no knowledge of Michigan athletics would think. Michigan is a very historic basketball program. They arent a blue blood like they are in football, but to pretend that a top 20 basketball program historically is so flippant about their basketball program is laughable.

[@mic1240]

@@Jimbo249Purdue and MSU have been the dominant BIG schools for decades, think cause both don’t have revolving door of coaches. Do agree U of M is a “football school” but good getting a coach to hope to make them respectable again in hoops good. (Crisler is tiny compared to most BIG arenas and doesn’t attract the passion of IU, Purdue, MSUs and continual sellouts even over holiday breaks sans students). Conference is better if U of M can be competitive again.

Badgers should have fired Gard and went after this guy!! Nice hire for Michigan!!

[@Noahwarriorsfan]

Gard is a better coach. May had one great season and some lucky wins

[@Noahwarriorsfan]

I mean he's no Bo Ryan obviously, so it makes it tougher for badgers fans I'm sure

[@jamiljohnson9766]

Which lose 🤕 more for Florida Atlantic losing in the final four to San Diego State at the buzzer or losing your head coach Dusty May to Michigan that man change your program 😢

[@leading4Him]

As an IU fan I knew IU would screw it up and stick with Woodson, who is clueless about college basketball. Now we get to watch Dusty come into Assembly Hall and kick IU around like everyone else does... way to blow it again Quinn Buckner.

[@davidgarland6155]

Preach on brother.

[@wheel631]

Many years ago UM and Louisville were competing for Pitino and he chose Louisville - now UM wins. Seems like UM and Louisville are always competing for coaches (well at least in basketball lol)

Now begins the new era of Michigan basketball. This may be the spark we haven’t seen since the Beilein era. Good hire sorry Louisville don’t get mad just #GOBlue

[@Jleed989]

And after 3 years, they were ready to run Beilein out of town.

[@marknbethn]

You state things like they are facts. It is simply opinion. I don’t think Louisville is a better job than Michigan in basketball. Michigan has some really strong history in basketball. And with their finances and big alumni support, I think Dusty May chose correctly.

[@_baller]

Dusty leaving, probably hurt FAUs run, the players knew I’m sure

[@dareal05]

Absolutely, playing like they checked out.

[@wheel631]

I was thinking the same

[@daisyjuarez2557]

Who’s transferring

[@Professional-fh1ow]

I like the hire and agree with most these guys had to say except expectations.We've losta top 30 recruit, Mr Basketball waiting to decide after new HC announcement and we've lost 4 players to the portal SO FAR and two graduates plus a starter with one year of eligibility to decided still. Its a TOTAL rebuild and while it would be nice to be back in the tournament in year 3...we forget what the great John Belien did and how long it took him after not such a bad Tommy Ammaker. Belien made it in year 3 but didn't return until year 5 and was actually on the hot seat as they got bounced 1st round in that 5th year to a 14 seed.

[@Jleed989]

Can he bring back the transfer portal players? Right now there’s not much to work with on that roster

[@leading4Him]

He was on the bench with RMK, he will be able to take lesser players and win, not like IU that has 3 possible NBA players and can't even make the tourney.

[@Jleed989]

@@leading4Himwhy are they holding on to Woodson? Favorite son I guess. Meanwhile good coaches out there are getting snapped up

[@daisyjuarez2557]

Witch players from FAU will follow him or the players are not good enough to play in another conference

[@SeshatPG82]

Depends on how many can get in and then don't mind that very few of their credits transfer. No slight on FAU players; it's just that the admissions dept. has been a major challenge to the MBB program in this transfer portal era in particular. On the football side, Myles Hinton transferred from Stanford and even he had difficulty getting credits to transfer.

[@zvbx]

Hopefully it’s not the Wicked “Witch” of the West.

[@justinschram]

We'll take all of FAU's players for next year. If they aren't good enough for the Big Ten then so be it. Our players this past year clearly weren't enough😂😂😂 Hopefully Dusty recruits some studs for the '25-26 season and onwards.

[@_baller]

The ones that checked out while playing maybe?

[@daisyjuarez2557]

Tre Carroll should follow May Davis as well

[@zymaymyn]

A good hire, but I'm not expecting immediate results. It took Dusty May 5 seasons to get FAU to the NCAA tournament. I do like the fact that he's never had a losing season as head coach.

[@Gotcha_Ass_2000]

Like first part of statement what u mean on second haveing no losing season is good ?

[@zymaymyn]

@@Gotcha_Ass_2000 I'm saying with the second part that the floor on Dusty May is a .500 season, maybe not a NCAA tourney or even an NIT, but one where they won't humiliate themselves.

[@akpost8780]

I’m expecting immediate improvements after a 8-24 season.

[@zymaymyn]

@@akpost8780 I am too, just not an NCAA tournament, not in year 1 anyway.

[@billdoty6438]

Great point, an adult is in charge now, exactly how I feel

[@genewoodward8695]

Juan Howard has kept his job for many years because of the racism promoted at Michigan.

[@sheneedsme]

The entire Michigan team is in the transfer portal. I wish him luck because he’s going to need it.

[@anonymousNine]

He also has thr ability to start from scratch and build an 8-10 man roster straight out of the portal + his FAU recruits that may consider coming.

Excellent!! 👍

[@Jimbo249]

These dudes really have no idea what they are talking about. Yes, Michigan is a football first school but the gap between the two isn't nearly as large as these guys seem to think it is. Michigan basketball under Beilein was more enjoyable than the football team for an entire decade. Pretending that they don't want the basketball program to succeed "at the expense of what the football program is trying to do" sounds like something an AI bot would write. Just because they won a national championship in football doesn't mean they don't also care deeply about their basketball program. This is a team with 2 national championship game appearances in the last 11 years.

[@marclucas9701]

[@davidgarland6155]

You could argue that Michigan basketball has historically been better than Michigan football. Multiple championship game appearances and Big Ten titles. This is a top level job. I would argue it's a better job than Louisville.

[@123slasher.16]

Thank you! Dave Strack competed for 2 national titles, made one title game Johnny Orr took them to a national title game . Steve Fisher won a national title and played for 2 others . John Beilien competed for 2 national titles. Bill Friedler, Steve Fisher and Tommie Amaker all won NIT titles . Michigan's tournament records in the NCAA and NIT is Top 3 all time in winning percentage. That's 7 national title games since 1965, an average of 1 every 8.5 years.
