Rose hires Andrew May as director of operations

PROVO, Utah – BYU coach Dave Rose announced today the hiring of Andrew May as the program’s director of basketball operations. 

May comes to BYU from Salt Lake Community College, where he served as an assistant coach for the last four years. Prior to his time at SLCC, he was a student manager at BYU from 2006-11, including four years as head manager from 2007-11.

“Andrew is a perfect fit for this job,” Rose said. “He gained tremendous experience at SLCC working for a very successful program and with a great coaching staff. Andrew also has a great understanding of our program, having worked as a student manager. We’re very excited to have him join our staff.”

“I’m really excited for the opportunity to be back with Coach Rose and the staff at BYU,” May said. “They’ve had great success since I’ve been gone and I only see the program having more success in the future. I can’t wait to start working with the players and to be back at BYU.”

During his four years at SLCC, May’s primary responsibilities included recruiting, skill development, technology and film coordinator and opponent scouting. The Bruins tallied four 20-win seasons, advanced to the NJCAA national tournament twice and won 103 games with three-consecutive conference championships.

In four years on the staff at SLCC, May coached five All-Americans, including former Cougar Skyler Halford. May and the SLCC coaching staff also saw 15 players move on to compete at the NCAA Division I level.

While working as a manager at BYU, the Cougars won four conference titles (2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011) and advanced to the NCAA tournament all five years. In 2010, BYU won its first NCAA tournament game since 1993 and in 2011, the Cougars advanced to the Sweet 16.

Prior to his time at BYU, Andrew was an assistant varsity coach at Orem High School in 2003-04 where he coached former Cougar Craig Cusick. May also worked as managing director for Practice Planner Live, the number one provider of sports practice planning software.

May prepped at Lone Peak High School where he holds single-season and single-game assist records. He earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise science and physical education from BYU in 2010. In 2011, May earned his master’s degree from BYU in exercise science.

May's father Mike May played basketball at BYU and still holds the program's single-game assist record. May has been married for eight years to his wife Marissa, and they have four children, Benson, Ella, Karsten and Luke.
