UNC-Chapel Hill- ACC

Departed coach/record:  Sylvia Hatchell, 32 seasons (751-325 overall, 297-209 in the ACC)

Reason for departure: Far too much to sum up here, Hatchell resigned after being placed on leave. For more on the situation, read here and here.

New coach/previous position: Courtney Banghart, Princeton head coach: Always one of the top favorites for the job, this appointment comes with no real surprise. After taking just two seasons to get the program rolling, Banghart led Princeton to 20+ wins in nine of her 12 seasons at the helm of the Tigers, including a perfect 30-0 regular season in 2014-15 when she was named the National Coach of the Year. She will have her handsful to get the program right again, but there is no reason to think she won’t do that in quick order.
