I think that there's a lot of potential at UNC, but the expectations are also very high. People there are going to expect to be in the ACC hunt every year and to make the Final Four every five. Furthermore, during most of her tenure in the Ivies there was only one other team that was a serious threat (Harvard early on, Penn recently), whereas in the ACC there are going to be three or four highly ranked teams to contend with every year. There's also the question of whether the skills needed to recruit in the arcane Ivy situation can be successfully adapted to a Power 5 environment. That being said, this is easily the best upper-echelon opportunity any Ivy coach of either sex has had in modern times, and I have no doubt she'll have good teams there--it's just that good may not be enough in this situation.
