As the women's basketball coaching carousel started spinning and schools came calling for Courtney Banghart once again, her older sister Jen secretly – or not so secretly – hoped she'd leave Princeton and come to North Carolina.
A Montessori school teacher, Jen has lived in Chapel Hill for about six years. Her home is two miles from Carmichael Arena. So, when the UNC job became available in late April, it became her goal to get Banghart here.
Banghart wasn't looking to leave Princeton, where she'd compiled a 254-103 record across 12 seasons. But after Carolina contacted her, she also started hoping she'd end up in Chapel Hill.
