Michigan Wolverines fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief—new survey results indicate overwhelming confidence that head coach Dusty May will remain in Ann Arbor, despite swirling NBA rumors. According to the poll, a staggering 91% of fans believe May won't be leaving for a professional gig anytime soon.
The speculation has been fueled by reports linking May to the Orlando Magic head coaching vacancy, with Front Office Sports also suggesting he could be a candidate for the Golden State Warriors if Steve Kerr steps away. However, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania has cast doubt on the Magic connection, and May himself has stated he plans to sign his new contract with Michigan in July. Until that ink dries, expect the rumor mill to keep churning.
May's decision to stay makes sense given the program's trajectory. Coming off a historic 37-3 season capped by a national championship, the Wolverines are reloading for another deep March Madness run. Key transfer portal additions—Tennessee center J.P. Estrella, LSU forward Jalen Reed, and Cincinnati center Moustapha Thiam—signal Michigan's intent to compete at the highest level. If May leads another long tournament run, his NBA stock will only rise further next offseason, but for now, the fan base is betting he'll be wearing maize and blue.
