Maureen Theresa Muth "Rene" Portland (March 31, 1953 – July 22, 2018) was an American head coach in women's college basketball, known for her 27-year tenure with the Penn State Nittany Lions basketball team.
Her career included 21 NCAA tournament appearances including a Final Four appearance in 2000, one AIAW national tournament appearance (1977, St.
Joseph's), five Big Ten Conference championships and eight conference tournament titles (the first six in the Atlantic 10). Portland was one of a few women's basketball coaches to have won 600 or more games at a single school, with a career record of 606–236 at Penn State.
Her notoriety grew when it was revealed that she had for decades discriminated against homosexual players on the Penn State women's basketball team.
