University of North Carolina Head Women's Basketball Coach Sylvia Hatchell has resigned, Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham announced Thursday evening.
"The University commissioned a review of our women's basketball program, which found issues that led us to conclude that the program needed to be taken in a new direction. It is in the best interests of our University and student-athletes for us to do so,'' says Cunningham. "Coach Hatchell agrees, and she offered her resignation today. I accepted it. We appreciate her 33 years of service to Carolina and to the community, and we wish her the best.
