Tom Head resigned after going 25-21 in two seasons with the girls basketball program.
“There was more added to his regular job, and he felt like he wouldn’t be able to be there as much as he’d like for the program,” Cole said.

Cole said he’s received about a dozen applications for each job. He confirmed that longtime Mother of Mercy coach Mary Jo Huismann is among the applicants for the girls position.
