LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech head women's basketball coach Marsha Sharp announced today that junior forward Plenette Pierson will sit out the remainder of the 2001-02 season. Pierson will remain on scholarship and is still part of the Lady Raider program. Pierson was indefinitely suspended following Tech's game at New Mexico Nov. 30.
"This decision was made after heartfelt deliberation," said Sharp. "This was a very difficult decision but after discussion with our staff, players and administration, I believe this will be the best thing for the this year's team, the Lady Raider program and certainly for Plenette."
Sharp has always made it a policy not to discuss personnel decisions and will not comment on this issue any further.
