GoHeels Exclusive: Hatchell's Grandest Coaching Wins

North Carolina women's basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell earned career victory No. 999 on Sunday at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, where the Tar Heels defeated Washington 90-78.

At the same venue Tuesday, she'll vie for 1,000 against Grambling State.

If she reaches the milestone then, Hatchell will become just the fourth men's or women's college basketball coach to win 1,000 games. Here are some of her most memorable moments, listed in mostly chronological order:

The Francis Marion championships

Only seven seasons into her college coaching career, Hatchell led Francis Marion to a 92-83 win over College of Charleston on March 27, 1982 to claim the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) small college division championship.
