Bloomington, Ind. — Roughly 21 hours before Michigan coach Dusty May was set to make his return to Assembly Hall and face his alma mater Indiana, the news came out. Hoosiers coach Mike Woodson will step down from his position at the end of the season after four years on the job.

May is likely at or near the top of the coaching wish list for IU fans and its athletic director after Mike Woodson steps down.

May, a student basketball manager at Indiana in the late 1990s, will return to Bloomington on Saturday as Michigan's head coach.

Indiana basketball has a head coach opening coming soon. Is Michigan's Dusty May their guy? Hoosiers fans aren't sold yet.

May climbed the coaching ladder all the way to Ann Arbor. His Wolverines are 16-5 overall and 9-2 in the Big Ten, good for a tie for second place with Michigan State and a half-game behind 10-2 Purdue entering Friday’s games. He spoke this week about his return to Assembly Hall.
