Less than a year after hiring him, Michigan awarded coach Dusty May with a multi-year contract extension to stave off any chance that his alma mater might pursue him this offseason.

Michigan and coach Dusty May agreed to a multi-year contract extension on Friday amid Indiana's rumored interest in the first-year Wolverines coach.

In his first season at Michigan, May has the Wolverines (20-5, 12-2 Big Ten) in the hunt for a Big Ten championship and trending toward a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament. His contract extension was announced roughly two hours before the Wolverines faced Michigan State in a battle for first place in the conference standings.
