Moving on from Juwan Howard was absolutely necessary for the Michigan Wolverines, even if they did not have his replacement waiting in the wings. While no rumored head coach stood out to me as a no-doubter, Dusty May looked to be the cream of the crop and it is hard to argue that Michigan did not get the best available option.
May inherits a team that finished last in the Big Ten, without any sort of identity or strength in 2023-24. His resume suggests that a turnaround can be expected, and even if it might take a couple years, there should be some early results this fall.
