A Strategic Hire for Wolverine Nation
Utah Valley University has named Andrew May as its new assistant coach and offensive coordinator for the men's basketball program, a move that signals the school's intent to sharpen its competitive edge in the Western Athletic Conference. The announcement comes as the program looks to build on recent progress and deepen its connection with the Wolverine Nation community.
A Trailblazing Tenure at Snow College
May arrives after a four‑year stint at Snow College where he compiled a 102‑26 record and became the winningest coach in program history. His 2024‑25 team posted a perfect 15‑0 mark in Scenic West Athletic Conference play and captured a historic 32‑2 season, earning national coach of the year honors from multiple outlets.
The offensive schemes he cultivated were praised for their efficiency and ability to maximize player potential, a reputation that preceded his recruitment by UVU officials. May's success at Snow College also included multiple conference coach of the year awards and a West District Coach of the Year title.
A Journey Through Utah's Basketball Landscape
Before Snow College, May spent three seasons at Utah Tech, guiding the program through its transition from Division II to Division I and into the Western Athletic Conference. He also served as an assistant at BYU under head coach Dave Rose, where he contributed to the team's sustained success and helped develop several standout players, including Jimmer Fredette during his collegiate career.
May will reunite with head coach Todd Phillips, a collaboration that dates back to their days at Salt Lake Community College. Their shared history is expected to bring continuity and a fresh tactical vision to UVU's offense.
Looking Ahead
With a reputation for player development and an offensive mindset that emphasizes speed and spacing, May is poised to help UVU's roster grow and compete at a higher level. His experience across multiple institutions equips him to navigate the challenges of modern college basketball while fostering a culture of growth within the Wolverine community.
