UNC's Carter Hicks, a lifelong Tar Heel, handles that role for Scott Forbes and his North Carolina team and as he discusses with Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley and Grace Nugent, adaptability and juggling the many aspects of the program are keys to keep the Diamond Heel success rolling along. **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.
