Penn State women's basketball coach Rene Portland disputed reports that sophomore guard Jen Harris and freshman guard Lisa Etienne were kicked off the team, but she said both players have asked for and been granted releases from the program.

Also, Portland said backup guard Amber Bland, a freshman from Boardman, Ohio, who played in 29 games and averaged 3.6 points per game, may not return next season.

"Amber Bland's status is in limbo right now," Portland said.

Is this like the equivalent, for players, of a coach being asked to resign?

"You could stay, but I'll make your life hell, so maybe you should transfer?"

Or maybe Rene was just trying to say "you can stay but you'll be a benchwarmer for my team next year" and it came out wrong since she obviously did it very soon after the end of the game.

Something still stinks over there though. Why take a team all the way down to four(or five?) returning players by choice? Does she have anything coming in? Is she going to try to do some kind of spring recruiting push?

Penn State should see the writing on the wall and let Rene go now! She wants to clean house in the program the administrators should take her advice and really clean house Smile

Pittsburgh Live is an extension of the Pittsburgh Tribune newspaper published by Richard Mellon Scaife. It is the proganda arm of the local Republican party.

Now that you've seen the disinformation that the Pittsburgh Li(v)e Forum is spreading, check today's coverage in any other PA newspaper, including these three, for more balanced coverage.
