Michigan Coach Stays Put After Big Game

Michigan’s basketball coach Dusty May won’t be leaving for North Carolina anytime soon. Despite rumors swirling for days, May chose to stay with the Wolverines after their strong season ended in a championship matchup against UConn. He’s not the only one turning down Carolina—their coaching search keeps hitting dead ends.First, it was Arizona’s Tommy Lloyd saying no. Then Alabama’s Nate Oats locked in an extension, ending his name in the mix. Even NBA exec Brad Stevens and Iowa State’s T. J. Otzelberger stepped aside. The only serious option left might be Billy Donovan, who won back-to-back titles with Florida in the mid-2000s. But Donovan’s tied up with NBA duties, so his decision could take weeks. The whole situation shows how hard it is to find the right leader. Carolina’s been hunting for weeks, but every name keeps slipping away. Even with a big program and plenty of resources, building a winning team starts with the right coach—and that’s not easy to lock down.
