May, who was named to the watch list for the Werner Ladder Naismith Mens College Coach of the Year, has the Wolverines (20-5, 12-2 Big Ten) in the hunt for a Big Ten regular-season title, and theyve crossed the 20-win plateau for the first time in four years.

I am grateful to Warde (Manuel), UM President Santa Ono, and all the members of the Board of Regents for the trust and support they have given me as the head coach, May said in a statement.

My goal is to bring continued success to this historic program.

We cannot reach that goal without the hard work that my staff and players put into this program.

We have built a solid foundation; however, there is much more work to be done.

I look forward to those challenges and what the future holds for me and my family in Ann Arbor..
