Cerritos College Men's Basketball

May is looking to improve on the teams Second Round exit in the Southern California Regional Playoffs from the 2015-16 season. The team won the South Coast Conference South Division and ended with a 20-10 record after a 68-63 overtime playoff loss to East Los Angeles College. It marked the fifth time in his seven seasons as the head coach that May guided his teams to the post-season. During the 2014-15 season, the team was beset with injuries, which slowed their progress. The end result was a 10-18 season and the team missed the post-season. The year before, May led his team to within one game of the Final Four and concluded the season with a 19-11 mark. During his tenure, May has posted a 103-96 (.566) record with four South Coast Conference championships. In his first season, May had to work with a predominantly freshmen-laden team, but still guided the team to the South Coast Conference South Division championship during the 2009-10 season and came close to advancing in the Southern California Regional Playoffs. Their year came to an end with a 67-65 loss to Mt. San Antonio College in the first round, and the team concluded with an 18-11 record. May returned to Cerritos College after spending 10 years as the head coach of the Los Alamitos High boys basketball team. He was a finalist for the Cerritos job in 2008 before returning to the Falcon program in 2009 and eventually inherited a team that went 16-13 overall (including a forfeit win over Los Angeles City College) and won the conference title. May, who was also Los Alamitos Highs athletic director, resigned both positions to take over at Cerritos, where he played for two years (1989-91) and served as an assistant coach from 1994-99. May also teaches a full slate of classes at Cerritos College. Under May, Los Alamitos won CIF crowns in 2006 (Division I-A) and 2007 (I-AA) and reached the Division I Southern California final in 2006. In 2008, the Griffins were seeded fourth in the I-AA playoffs before being upset by Lynwood in the second round. May also led his teams to nine league championships in his 10 seasons and was also named both the county and CIF Coach of the Year during his tenure with the Griffins. As a player for the Falcons, May was a South Coast Conference Honorable Mention selection as a sophomore, despite missing the latter part of the season with a broken foot. The team won the conference title his freshman year, while they placed second his sophomore campaign. In his time as an assistant coach, the team won five straight conference championships and the state title in 1999, his final season as an assistant coach with the Falcons. May then earned a scholarship to Cal Poly Pomona, where he played two more seasons. He earned his Bachelors degree in History from Cal Poly Pomona, his teaching credential from Cal State Long Beach and his Masters degree from Azusa Pacific University. May and his wife Andrea have three children; Madison, a volleyball player at Niagara Falls University, Everett and Sydney.
