Dominican Coach Wollersheim Resigns After 'Nightmare' Allegations

boys basketball coach Paul Wollersheim has resigned despite no charges being filed in what he calls "false allegations that have been a nightmare."

Wollersheim, who also serves as the school's athletic director, and placed on administrative leave; the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office

The allegations in late May.

Here is Wollersheim's resignation letter:

It is with some sadness that I have resigned my duties at Dominican High School. For the past 20+ years I have worked with amazing kids, parents and colleagues — they energized me on a daily basis.

The recent false allegations against me have been a nightmare for my family and me. More than anything, it has helped me understand what’s most important in my life. My wife and family have been amazing throughout this ordeal as have many of my closest friends — without that support I am not sure I would have found the strength in myself to get through this situation.

It now seems clearer than ever that it is time for me to move on from Dominican. As my family demands over the past two years have grown — so, too, have my responsibilities at Dominican.  I don’t think the Lord could be any more direct with me that the focus and priority of my life should go in the direction of my family and I look forward to the joy and challenges that brings.

My memories of Dominican will always be special — no one can take that away.  This was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding seasons of my coaching career.  My players, parents, and assistant coaches over the past twenty years have been an inspiration to me, and I hope to continue those relationships for the rest of my life.
