Sylvia Hatchell resigns as UNC women’s basketball coach following result of investigation

Following an almost three-week review of the UNC women’s basketball program, the University of North Carolina announced Thursday night that head coach Sylvia Hatchell resigned after agreeing, according to AD Bubba Cunningham, that it was in the best interest of her players.

Twenty-eight interviews of players and personnel were conducted, and the Charlotte-based firm Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein found “widespread support” that Hatchell committed the following transgressions.
