University of North Carolinaâ€s womenâ€s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell has resigned following an internal review that determined “the program needed to be taken in a new direction.â€
“The University commissioned a review of our womenâ€s basketball program, which found issues that led us to conclude that the program needed to be taken in a new direction,†read athletic director Bubba Cunninghamâ€s statement. “It is in the best interests of our University and student-athletes for us to do so.â€

She was accused of pressuring players to play through injuries as well as using racially insensitive language.
The review conducted by Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein found that:
At the time of Hatchellâ€s leave of absence, an in-depth report by the Washington Post detailed the comments made by Hatchell through anonymous interviews with six parents of student-athletes.
In one instance, Hatchell made reference to a “noose†after a 85-63 win over Howard, a historically black university. “When you go to Louisville, if you perform like you did tonight, theyâ€re going to have nooses outside the arena, and theyâ€re going to hang you by your necks from trees,†one parent told The Post of Hatchellâ€s alleged statement.
A differing account had Hatchell saying, “Weâ€re going up to Louisville, those people are going to be waiting with nooses to hang you from trees.â€

The review conducted by Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein found that:
- Hatchell made comments that were racially insensitive, and when confronted by players and staff did not respond in a timely or appropriate manner. The review concluded that Hatchell is not viewed as a racist, but her comments and subsequent response caused many in the program to believe she lacked awareness and appreciation for the effect her remarks had on those who heard them.
