Plumley Won't Play This Year, Coale Says

University of Oklahoma Lady Sooners basketball coach Sherri Coale today suspended star Jenna Plumley indefinitely and said the point guard will not play this season.

Coale's action came after Plumley, 20, was detained by a Wal-Mart security guard in Norman. Police say they found cosmetics in Plumley's purse for which the store had not been paid. She faces a misdemeanor charge of petit larceny.

"There had been ongoing concerns with Jenna that culminated in a meeting within the last two weeks," Coale said in a statement that hints at as-yet-unknown problems. "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 apparently will remain on scholarship at OU if she elects to continue there.

The components are the Coaches' Top 25 poll, the Harris Interactive poll and computer rankings. Oklahoma was ranked fourth in both the coaches' poll and the Harris poll, but were hurt by a low computer ranking of No. 11.
