Sylvia Hatchell and Jolette Law go from friends to foes

Posted Dec 19, 2008
Jolette Law received plenty of congratulatory phone calls last year when she took the head coaching position at Illinois. One was from Sylvia Hatchell. Hatchell, the coach at North Carolina, talked with her longtime friend about the Illinois job and about scheduling a game against her team. That meeting will come Saturday when the second-ranked Tar Heels face the Illini at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. (South Carolina Now)
