It is a debate that heats up every single college baseball season - who trots out in game one of an NCAA Tournament regional - with pros and cons of each side of the coin, and very strong opinions on each side. Inside Carolina's Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss the Hold or Throw debate inside college pitching staffs when it comes to postseason play in the double elimination format.  As Barnes points out, the decisions are very different when you toss in the seeding aspect and the strength of the regional bracket and for UNC, both of those variables likely play into the final decision for head coach Scott Forbes.

As Scott Forbes and the Diamond Heels head into the postseason with high expectations, this year ironically marks the 20-year anniversary of a club most responsible for creating those annual expectations. Prior to 2006, Omaha was a nice idea for Carolina Baseball, but was hardly the annual target that the program now preps for. In a special podcast, some of the leaders of that memorable squad joined Joey Powell to look back at the off-the-field bonds, the on-field heroics, and the pain that morphed into an incredible legacy on Tar Heel Baseball today. Hear Chad Flack, Matt Danford, Andrew Carignan, Josh Horton, Daniel Bard, and Andrew Miller give a peek into the lockerroom, the bus rides, the dogpiles, and everything in between and learn just how the baseball program that is a perennial contender today was once just a group of guys trying to be better than the rough season prior.
