Earlier in the afternoon, head coach Dusty May addressed Michigan reporters regarding his team. Here’s some of what he said.
The Michigan coach began with an opening statement. Michigan has two exhibitions coming up, one in Detroit against Oakland Oct. 20 and one at Crisler Center versus Toledo Oct. 25.
“We have a lot to be excited for the next couple weeks, as our health is rounding back into form,” May said. “Our players have an opportunity to see someone other than their teammates at practice every day.
“Typically this time of year, guys get tired of practicing against each other. They want to bang against another team. So we’re excited for that to be the case here in the next week or so.”
Friday, Michigan players will go through pro day and open scrimmage in front of scouts and media. May previewed what the day will entail for his Wolverines.

“It’s actually very similar to a normal practice for us,” May said. “We’ll do some shooting drills, competition shooting drills. We’ve added a few that are similar to NBA Combine-type workouts. They’ll lift, get a lighter lift than usual so that they’re a little fresher.
“And then we’ll play one on one, we’ll play three on three, we’ll play five on five. The beautiful thing about the NBA now is they like to see your guys play. They enjoy watching them play against competition and bodies. It’ll be very, very normal, as far as the structure of it. Obviously, the players will have a little hop in their step, just like they will when there are fans in the building.”
May was asked about the vision for the identity of the Michigan team.
“We’ll certainly find out more along the season,” May noted. “You don’t know your warts. For example, if we have a great practice and we’re shooting it well, your first inclination as a coach is, ‘Man, we’re not contesting shots,’ or we’re giving up too many threes — whatever the case. So you never really know.
“I think the staple of our program will be what type of pace we’re playing with, how we’re moving the basketball and do we look like we enjoy sharing it? And then defensively, are we playing with great force and energy and passion?”
