Many male coaches assume the role of a father figure to their athletes at any level of any sport. For the Michigan Wolverines, first-year head coach Dusty May is no exception.

May took a depleted Michigan basketball team at the end of the 2023-2024 season, kept three players, and brought in six transfers and three freshmen in the span of four months. At the team’s local Media Day on Friday, each of the nine new athletes shared why they chose to follow May to Ann Arbor.
