Thoughts and Prayers: Skip Prosser
The blizzog joins many in mourning the loss of Wake Forest basketball coach Skip Prosser, who died today in his office of an apparent heart attack.
If you read anything about Coach Prosser you’ll find that he was a well-respected man who got into coaching the hard way: through the high school ranks. As opposed to many guys who start their careers as college assistants because they are former alums, Prosser put his time in as a very successful high school coach in Wheeling, West Virginia before working his way through the collegiate ranks. I’ve always thought that was pretty cool.
Wake Forest and the ACC have lost one of the good ones. Thoughts and prayers to Coach Prosser’s family and the extended Wake Forest family. This season won’t be the same without him.
Well said, JG. Living in Winston has brought about a new level of disdain for Wake Forest, but I always thought of Skip as a good guy and respected what he was doing here. Rest in peace, Coach. Thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, and the folks in his program.
