Deadspin | AD: Dusty May, Michigan reach agreement on new contract Dusty May, head coach of the University of Michigan men’s basketball team, waves to fans alongside his wife, Anna May, while riding in a parade honoring the team’s NCAA national championship in Ann Arbor on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Dusty May is being rewarded for guiding Michigan to its second national championship and winningest season in program history. Wolverines athletic director Warde Manuel announced Saturday that May has reached an agreement on a contract extension. “He will be the leader of this basketball team for many years to come,” Manuel said of May on Saturday while speaking at Michigan’s national title celebration event at Crisler Center. May, 49, has turned around the Wolverines in short order, posting a 64-13 during his two seasons at the school. They capped a 37-3 season by recording a 69-63 victory over UConn on Monday. The run of success was welcome after Michigan lost a program-record 24 games before he was hired. “I’m very grateful, and during the (NCAA) Tournament, I just told Warde I’m not leaving,” May said on Big Ten Network. “And I probably ruined any leverage I could have had. It’s an honor to coach at this great institution, and I just look forward to what’s next.” May took Florida Atlantic on a shocking run to the Final Four in 2023 and compiled a 126-69 record there in six seasons (2018-24) before replacing Juwan Howard at Michigan. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Dusty #Michigan #reach #agreement #contract

Having made his mark at the Asian Boxing Championships in Ulaanbaatar, Vishvanath Suresh, the newly-crowned champion in 50kg, is ready to go up to 55kg in order to make it to the Indian teams for the Commonwealth and the Asian Games.

A World youth champion in 2022 and an Asian Under-22 champion in 2024, Vishvanath, a product of the Army Sports Institute (ASI), Pune, waited for his time to compete at the elite level.

“I was No. 2 in my weight in the Services team and the No. 1 boxer went to the National Championships. After regular training, I did some extra work, which helped me. I got a chance and won the National title (in January last). The Asian Championships was my first major event. In the past few years, India didn’t have an Asian champion (in men’s boxing). Now I’ve become one,” Vishvanath told Sportstar.

“My one-sided quarterfinal win over World champion Sanzhar Tashkenbay was satisfying. The Kazakh fell off a punch in the last round. No Indian had beaten him after Amit Panghal (in the 2024 Strandja tournament). That gave me a lot of confidence.”

The 21-year-old is delighted to have made his boxer father M. Suresh, who bagged junior medals in the Nationals in the mid-1990s before hanging up his gloves to support his family, super proud.

Now the Chennai boy faces the challenge of going up to an Olympic weight, 55kg, for the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games.

“Life is incomplete without challenges. My first target is assessment (to get selected). My body weight stays around 54kg. It will be advantageous as I can eat a bit and box. All eyes will be on me. But my hard work will keep me ahead. I need to increase my strength for 55kg.”

Vishvanath’s ultimate aim is to shine at Los Angeles 2028. “I want to win a gold in the Olympics, not just any medal. Vijender Singh’s bronze in 2008 inspires me, but it’s a shame that we’ve not won an Olympics medal (in men’s boxing) since then. I want to change Indians’ mindset,” said Vishvanath.

Deadspin | Yankees’ Aaron Judge bids to continue power surge vs. Angels Apr 13, 2026; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge (99) jogs to the dugout after the top of the second inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: John Jones-Imagn Images Aaron Judge’s best night of the season nearly went by the wayside because the New York Yankees struggled to get outs, especially against Mike Trout. After surviving Trout’s two homers, the Yankees snapped their five-game skid with their wildest win of the early season. They hope to get a less stressful victory on Tuesday night when they host the Los Angeles Angels in the second contest of a four-game series. New York’s past nine games have been decided by two runs or less. The Yankees improved to 3-6 in those games after Jose Caballero scored on a wild pitch by Jordan Romano in the ninth inning to record a wild 11-10 victory on Monday. Judge hit a two-run homer in the first inning and a solo shot in the sixth to snap a 7-7 tie. He has three of his six homers in the past two games. “Every good (team) goes through at least two big losing streaks,” said Judge, who is 11-for-36 in his past 10 games. “So hopefully we can get this one out of the way.” Trent Grisham homered twice by belting a pinch-hit, three-run homer in the sixth inning and a tying two-run homer in the ninth before Caballero doubled and stole third ahead of the wild pitch. Trout entered the series hitting .208 but felt encouraged by some of his at-bats in the series opener. “He’s the greatest of all time,;he’s been fun to watch his whole career,” Judge said about Trout. Trout launched a tying three-run homer off Jake Bird in the sixth inning immediately after Grisham’s first homer. Trout hit a two-run drive in the eighth off Camilo Doval to give the Angels an 10-8 lead. “Honestly, you’ve been waiting for that because Mike’s been hitting the ball hard,” Los Angeles manager Kurt Suzuki said, “He’s been having some tough luck and putting some really good swings on the ball, and you’re kind of waiting for a game like this, and it was a good night to have it. Just tough luck coming on the losing end.” Trout’s multi-homer game was achieved on a night in which the Angels collected 12 hits. “It was definitely one of the better games,” said Trout, who has four homers and 12 RBIs this season. “Just a fun one to be a part of. Obviously the loss is disappointing, but throughout the whole game we battled back and had great at-bats the whole game. Sometimes they don’t go your way.” After neither team saw their starter complete the fourth inning in the series opener, Ryan Weathers (0-1, 2.81 ERA) will look to do better on Tuesday for the Yankees when he opposes fellow left-hander Reid Detmers (0-1, 4.60). After pitching a combined eight innings in no-decisions against the Seattle Mariners and Miami Marlins, Weathers allowed one run on seven hits in eight innings in a 1-0 loss to the Athletics on Thursday. Weathers took the loss in his lone previous start against the Angels when he allowed three runs on four hits in three innings during a 10-2 defeat for the San Diego Padres on Sept. 28, 2021. Detmers is 0-4 with an 8.36 ERA since his most recent win as a starter on Sept. 9, 2024, against the Minnesota Twins. He endured his worst start of his return to the rotation on Wednesday when he allowed six runs (five earned) in 4 1/3 innings of an 8-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Detmers does not have a decision and has pitched 8 1/3 scoreless innings in five previous appearances against the Yankees. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Yankees #Aaron #Judge #bids #continue #power #surge #AngelsApr 13, 2026; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge (99) jogs to the dugout after the top of the second inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium.

Rory McIlroy won the Masters on Sunday. On some level it all is rather not surprising given the events of the last year and change. On another level it is completely shocking given that the golf world very recently wondered if he would ever secure a green jacket and he now has two.

Much has rightfully been made about how Rory is the first repeat winner at Augusta since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002. McIlroy is just the fourth ever to repeat at the tournament of all tournaments (Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo). It is a historic landmark to say the least.

Interestingly, this gives us another two-year run where a major champion is repeated across the landscape of men’s golf as Rory won a major in 2025 and now has taken home the first one in 2026. Obviously in this case they were the same tournament.

This unique run has happened a few times in recent history.

Scottie Scheffler from 2024 to 2025

To be perfectly clear we began 2026 with this particular happening taking place this past year.

Scottie Scheffler won the Masters for a second time himself in 2024 (2022), and in 2025 he famously won both the PGA Championship and Open Championship. I had a bit of a choice when it came to photos to use, didn’t I?

This marked the first time in a handful of years that a single player won a major in consecutive seasons.

Collin Morikawa from 2020 to 2021

Prior to Scottie last year the most recent instance of a player winning major titles in consecutive seasons was Collin Morikawa. It is impossible to forget how Morikawa stormed to victory during the PGA Championship at Harding Park in 2020, and a year later he himself took home the Claret Jug.

Brooks Koepka from 2017 through 2019

This is when things were particularly impressive.

Brooks Koepka not only won majors in consecutive seasons, but he won them in three straight. Koepka took home the U.S. Open in 2018, both the PGA Championship and U.S. Open in 2018, and then the PGA Championship once more in 2019 (he would go on to win the PGA again in 2023 obviously).

At the time of the 2019 PGA Championship win, Brooks was the defending champion twice over at both the PGA and U.S. Open. Obviously that would only last a little while before Gary Woodland won the U.S. Open in 2019 at Pebble Beach.

Rory McIlroy from 2011 to 2012

While there were a pair of years where players won multiple majors in the same year in the run-up to Brooks (Jordan Spieth in 2015 and Rory McIlroy in 2014), Brooks obviously did it himself in 2018 as noted, prior to the run just mentioned the two-year stretch where a player won a major in consecutive seasons was Rory once more. Quite the full circle here.

McIlroy’s first major championship came at the U.S. Open in 2011 and then he won the PGA Championship for the first time in 2012. He would win the event in again in 2014, after winning the Open Championship, and set up the drought that was broken last year which started this whole discussion and the Career Grand Slam opportunity that he finally met.

Who will be the next player to win majors in consecutive seasons? At the moment only Scottie Scheffler and J.J. Spaun (who won last year’s U.S. Open) are eligible to do it. Scottie can obviously win one for the third year in a row.

Rory will be again next year as well. Recent history shows it would be silly to bet against him.

Interestingly, this gives us another two-year run where a major champion is repeated across the landscape of men’s golf as Rory won a major in 2025 and now has taken home the first one in 2026. Obviously in this case they were the same tournament.

This unique run has happened a few times in recent history.

Scottie Scheffler from 2024 to 2025

To be perfectly clear we began 2026 with this particular happening taking place this past year.

Scottie Scheffler won the Masters for a second time himself in 2024 (2022), and in 2025 he famously won both the PGA Championship and Open Championship. I had a bit of a choice when it came to photos to use, didn’t I?

This marked the first time in a handful of years that a single player won a major in consecutive seasons.

Collin Morikawa from 2020 to 2021

Prior to Scottie last year the most recent instance of a player winning major titles in consecutive seasons was Collin Morikawa. It is impossible to forget how Morikawa stormed to victory during the PGA Championship at Harding Park in 2020, and a year later he himself took home the Claret Jug.

Rory McIlroy won the Masters on Sunday. On some level it all is rather not surprising given the events of the last year and change. On another level it is completely shocking given that the golf world very recently wondered if he would ever secure a green jacket and he now has two.

Much has rightfully been made about how Rory is the first repeat winner at Augusta since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002. McIlroy is just the fourth ever to repeat at the tournament of all tournaments (Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo). It is a historic landmark to say the least.
