(ANN ARBOR) - Dusty May was succinct when outlining his goals as Michigan coach during his introductory news conference on Tuesday. He says his goal is to be enjoyable to watch. May says the program wants to win championships, but they also want to put fans in the seats and be easy on the eyes. May was hired by Michigan after six seasons at Florida Atlantic, which he led on a surprising run to the Final Four last season. He was contacted by Michigan after FAU lost to Northwestern on Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He met with athletic director Warde Manuel on Saturday, then toured the athletic facilities in Ann Arbor and signed a five year, $19 million contract on Sunday. May had been linked with the opening at Louisville, but Michigan was the front-runner from the start. May says Michigan was a place that he wanted to be, and it was the right fir for him and his family. He says from Day 1, this was one that he just thought would match him and allow him and those around him to have the highest level of success doing it the way that they enjoy doing. Manuel began the search for a new coach after firing former Fab Five star Juwan Howard earlier this month. May takes over a Michigan team coming off an 8-24 season and a last-place finish in the Big Ten Conference, the school's worst season since 1960-61. He plans to use both recruiting and the transfer portal, which he jokingly compared to “speed dating.” Part of his challenge will be to bring in recruits who can qualify academically at Michigan. On the court, May said his new team may not shoot as many 3-pointers as his Florida Atlantic teams, at least not at first.
