WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross Interim Director of Athletics Brendan Sullivan has announced that head women's basketball coach Bill Gibbons has been suspended for the remainder of the 2018-19 season, effective immediately.

The suspension comes as the result of an internal investigation into a personnel matter. Associate head coach Ann McInerney has been named interim head coach and will assume the role for the remainder of the season. Director of basketball operations Sarah Hope has been elevated to assistant coach.

The personnel action does not involve a claim of sexual harassment, nor does it involve a student.

The women's basketball team has posted an 11-9 overall record so far this season and will host Lafayette at the Hart Center at the Luth Athletic Complex Saturday at 1:05 p.m.
