CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Women's basketball coach Courtney Banghart, who has led the Tar Heels to the NCAA Tournament in each of the past three years, has signed a five-year contract extension with the University of North Carolina. The new contract runs through the 2027-28 season.
"When we conducted our coaching search four years ago, we were convinced that Coach Banghart was the right leader for our program -- and I feel even more strongly about that now," UNC Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham said. "She is passionate about teaching student-athletes how to win on and off the court, has embraced the Carolina community, and has worked tirelessly to propel our women's basketball program to back to the nation's top echelon.
