BY Ryan Wilcox

UPDATE 2:44 p.m. North Carolina women's basketball head coach Sylvia Hatchell released a statement regarding the University review of the program.

"I’ve had the privilege of coaching more than 200 young women during my 44 years in basketball," Hatchell said in the statement. "My goal has always been to help them become the very best people they can be, on the basketball court and in life. I love each and every one of the players I’ve coached and would do anything to encourage and support them. They are like family to me. I love them all. Of course, I will cooperate fully in this review. I look forward to a prompt conclusion of this matter and the continuation of our very successful women’s basketball program."

Coaches of the North Carolina women's basketball team will be placed on paid administrative leave as the program is reviewed due to "issues raised by student-athletes and others," the UNC athletics department announced on Monday.

Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein, a Charlotte-based firm, will conduct the review, and will "assess the culture of the women’s basketball program and the experience of our student-athletes," according to a statement. No timetable was announced, and no further information was provided.
