There is a new Michigan Man on the bench for Michigan men's basketball. And his name is Dusty May.
The Wolverines moved quickly and announced that May will take over for Juwan Howard, who was fired after a 8-24 record and a first-round loss in the Big Ten Tournament. It was Michigan's worst season in 40 years. You could've won a lot of money wagering against the Wolverines this year on Michigan sports betting sites.
May comes to Michigan from Florida Atlantic. He led the Owls to the Final Four in 2023. FAU was back in the tournament this year, losing to Northwestern in the first round, 74-65.
And so concludes our story with hypothetical odds on who would replace Howard. BetMichigan.com – your source for MI online casinos - broke down the odds on which candidates could be next in line to replace Howard in Ann Arbor.
May was on our list.
What follows are our final odds before the selection of May.
