 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Rene Portland turned Penn State into one of the top programs in women's college basketball. In the end, her highly successful 27-year tenure as Lady Lions head coach may be remembered just as much for allegations that she may have discriminated against lesbian players.
Penn State announced Portland's resignation Thursday, more than a month after the coach and university settled a lawsuit from a former player who claimed Portland had a "no-lesbian" policy on her team.
"This was obviously a difficult decision," Portland said in a statement in which she made no mention why she was stepping down.
