Since joining the Albion coaching staff in 1997, Jody May has played a huge role in the success of the Britons basketball program. He was named the head coach prior to the start of the 2008 season. During the 2023-24 season, he reached the 200 career win milestone with a 78-73 victory of Kalamazoo College.
During his tenure, the Britons have earned plenty of MIAA first team awards: Andrew Holms (2009), J.C. Cruse (2010, '11), Kolin Kazen (2012), Jamezell Davis, Jr. (2019, '20), Caden Ebeling (2019, '20, '21) and Cortez Garland (2021, '22). Additionally, Travell Oakes shared the MIAA's Defensive Player of the Year award in 2015 while Garland won the award in 2020.
May led the Britons to the 2019-20 MIAA Regular Season Championship, earning BCAM College Coach of the Year honors.
As an assistant with Albion, the Britons compiled a 182-85 overall record with two NCAA Division III Tournament berths. In 1998, Albion earned an automatic berth to the NCAA Division III Tournament by winning the MIAA tournament. Albion was an at-large selection to the NCAA Tournament in 2005, advancing to the Elite Eight.
He has also coached two Division III select teams that have gone on tours to Holland, Belgium, and Australia.
A native of Elida, Ohio, May came to Albion after two seasons as an assistant men’s basketball program at Hanover College. During the 1995-96 season, May helped guide the Panthers to the Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference championship and the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
A captain on the 1993 NCAA Division III championship squad at Ohio Northern University, May immediately moved into the coaching ranks upon graduation in the spring of 1993. May served as an assistant coach at Bluffton (Ohio) College for two seasons while earning his master’s degree at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
May resides in Albion with his wife Julie and son Jackson.
