   KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell announced Sunday   
   that she has dismissed senior guard Ruby Whitehorn from the   
   eighth-ranked Lady Vols, saying it was her responsibility to protect the   
   program’s high standards.   
      
   “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,” Caldwell said in a statement. “I love Ruby and will always be   
   rooting for her, but my priority is to uphold the respected reputation   
   of the Lady Vols.”   
      
   Whitehorn reportedly was stopped early Thursday by campus police, who   
   found her in possession of marijuana. She was charged with misdemeanor   
   simple possession/casual exchange.   
      
   Whitehorn had been allowed back on the team following a suspension for   
   an August arrest. She pleaded guilty Sept. 5 to two misdemeanors of   
   aggravated trespassing and aggravated burglary in exchange for judicial   
   diversion after the Aug. 8 altercation. Her record can be expunged after   
   a year.   
      
   The 6-foot player from Detroit was arrested after what police said was   
   an incident at a woman’s residence where Whitehorn kicked in a front   
   door and bedroom door. Whitehorn reportedly told officers she was   
   getting her property back after the woman took her phone and passport   
   and then locked the door.   
      
   In a statement posted Sunday on Instagram shortly after Caldwell’s   
   announcement, Whitehorn apologized for failing to “uphold the standards   
   of the lady vol legacy and what it represents.”   
      
      
   The Lady Vols open the season Tuesday night at No. 9 N.C. State.   
      
   Whitehorn started 28 of 34 games last season for the Lady Vols and   
   ranked fourth on the team in scoring, averaging 11.6 points. She began   
   her career at Clemson, where she started 62 of 66 games.   
      
   She helped Tennessee go 24-10 in coach Caldwell’s debut season. The Lady   
   Vols lost to Texas in the Sweet 16 of the women’s NCAA Tournament.
