In response to rbg
Thanks for sharing. As previously stated, Coach Banghart has been the most successful IL coach, women or men, over the past 10 years by a significant margin. She came into a struggling program and got the Tiger's women on their feet within 3 years. I would be surprised if she does not turn around the Tar Heel program.
She is one of those coaches that can best be described as simply a "winner". She has gifts as to how to handle her players on and off the court. The Tar Heels will be thrilled to have hired her. I always envision the possibility that she could become the first woman to coach a men's Division I program but who knows what will happen over the next several years.
She leaves the Princeton program in very good hands based on her recruiting especially for the upcoming year but she will be very difficult, if not impossible, to replace. She obviously impressed the Tar Heel AD and administration which is no surprise to people that know her.
Some folks in the IL did not like her because she spoke her mind and was not intimidated -- wonderful quality when you can back it up.
