OU's Plumley won't play this year after suspension
From staff reports
University of Oklahoma point guard Jenna Plumley will not participate in the upcoming season and has been suspended indefinitely from the women's basketball team, head coach Sherri Coale announced in a press release Thursday evening.
Plumley was arrested in Norman on Monday on a petty larceny complaint. She is accused of trying to take four cosmetics items valued at $34.65 from Wal-Mart in Norman.
"There had been ongoing concerns with Jenna that culminated in a meeting within the last two weeks," Coale said in a statement. "During that meeting a plan was outlined for what our program expected from her. She has not met those expectations. I am concerned for Jenna and want to proceed in a way that is in the best interest of her education and our team. This is an unfortunate situation, but I am hopeful that it will produce the best results in the long run."
Plumley will remain on scholarship.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for Jenna to focus on her academic work and we certainly want to do everything we can to facilitate her success in that area,” Coale said. “In no way will we turn our back on her or our responsibility to her overall development.”
