[URL='http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/26559619/with-sylvia-hatchell-next-north-carolina']With Sylvia Hatchell out, what's next for North Carolina?[/URL] Tar Heels players such as Ivory Latta and Erlana Larkins -- both of whom, like Smith, played in the WNBA -- strongly supported Hatchell in a television interview by WRAL on April 8 in the wake of the allegations against her. Latta and Larkins credited Hatchell with motivating them to reach the level they did, and they dismissed allegations of racism against her. At the same time, they referred to today's players as "different," and said they weren't trying to invalidate their experiences. And that's an inescapable part of this: Everyone seems to believe there is a generational gap in what is perceived as "tough" and "abusive" behavior from a coach. Although just how wide the gap is, and what ages are on which side, are both subject for debate. [/QUOTE]
