North Carolina women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell was selected on Monday for induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The ceremony will take place in Springfield, Mass., this September.

Hatchell won her 900th career game this season and is just the third women’s coach to reach that mark. With 908 career wins, Hatchell is second all-time in women’s basketball history, behind only Tennessee’s Pat Summitt.

Three other coaches are also a part of the 2013 class: Guy Lewis, Jerry Tarkanian and Rick Pitino. Three players were also selected.
