Breaking: UNC Forces Sylvia Hatchell To Resign, Then Announces It After Midnight

You don’t typically see major breaking sports news after midnight unless it involves an arrest but we have it tonight as long-time women’s coach Sylvia Hatchell has been forced out at UNC.

A.D. Bubba Cunningham issued this statement: “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. 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.
