According to Tennessee Athletics, Tennessee women’s basketball head coach Kim Caldwell announced Sunday that senior guard Ruby Whitehorn has been dismissed from the team.
“It is my responsibility to protect the high standards of this historic program,” Caldwell said. “In light of recent events, Ruby has been unable to reflect those standards, and I have made the difficult decision to dismiss her from our team. I love Ruby and will always be rooting for her, but my priority is to uphold the respected reputation of the Lady Vols.”
Whitehorn is facing her second legal issue in the last three months. In September she was charged with two misdemeanor charges: aggravated trespassing and vandalism. On October 30th she was charged with misdemeanor possession after a UTPD Officer found her in possession of marijuana.
