This is actually the first I've heard of this story.

STATE COLLEGE, PA. - Penn State fined women's basketball coach Rene Portland $10,000 after concluding she violated university policy in her treatment of a player who was incorrectly perceived to be gay.

...

The school began the investigation after a former player, Jennifer Harris, alleged that Portland had harassed her, told her she needed to look "more feminine," and had a policy of keeping women she thought were lesbians off the team.

Anyone else a little surprised that Coach Portland wasn't fired immediately? Not saying she should have or shouldn't have, as I'm not intimately familiar with the entire situation, I just shocked that she wasn't.
