Wake Forest basketball coach Skip Prosser died on Thursday morning of an apparent heart attack shortly after jogging, he was 56. Prosser lead the Demon Deacons to the tournament in 4 of his 6 seasons in Winston Salem. He was well liked by his colleagues for his wity and sarcastic sense of humor. Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek always thought highly of Prosser
""It's so sad. I feel so bad for his wife, Nancy," Sendek said. "Skip was a gentleman and someone who represented what was good about our profession. He was the kind of person you wanted your son to play for."
Georgia Tech head coach Paul Hewitt was very saddened by the news
""I was sitting with him yesterday in Orlando, He was just a great person. It's so sad."
Arizona coach Lute Olson is still in shock
"This is beyond belief. It's awful. He was always very positive and friendly. Extremely outgoing. The kind of guy you always looked forward to seeing."
Prosser is survived by his wife, Nancy, and two sons, Scott (28) and Mark (27). Prosser will be missed by the college hoops world.
