Sylvia Hatchell fights leukemia, hopes to coach this year
Posted Dec 24, 2013
Sylvia Hatchell is fighting to get back to her North Carolina women's basketball program as quickly as possible. The recently-inducted Naismith Hall of Fame coach has been away from sideline duties since October while receiving treatment for leukemia. She spent a month in the hospital for the first round of chemotherapy with more ahead as she holds out hope of getting back by tournament time.
