RALEIGH, N.C. — Courtney Banghart built the Princeton women’s basketball program to the point that winning conference championships and going to the NCAA Tournament seemingly became routine. UNC hired Banghart on Tuesday to be the Tar Heels’ new coach. She went 254-103 in 12 seasons at Princeton, guiding the Tigers to seven Ivy League titles and eight NCAA Tournament bids in the past decade. Still, Banghart inherits a program that needed a jolt of energy after some bumpy years for the Tar Heels even before Hatchell’s exit. Along the way, there were several transfers and hits to recruiting that hindered the women’s basketball program in the years following its NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in 2015.
