April 5 (UPI) -- North Carolina Tar Heels head women's basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell is under investigation over allegations that she made racial remarks and pressured players into competing while injured.
Hatchell allegedly forced players to compete with serious injuries and told her players that they would get "hanged from trees with nooses" if their performance didn't improve, according to a Thursday report by the Washington Post. The report cited interviews with seven people with knowledge of the investigation, including six parents of current team members.
