Coach Prosser


Bad month. Michael Vick, Tim Donaghy, Barry Bonds (jerk, Giant, Fat Head) on the verge of breaking Hank's homer record. Last week, Skip Prosser, head basketball coach at Wake Forest passed away after a jog on campus. Prosser was a graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. We don't get too many luminaries in the sports world out of Kings Point so my love of the college game naturally drew my interest to his career and I always pulled for his teams whether it was Xavier (where he owned Bob Huggin's Cincinnati Bear Cats in the two schools' intra-city championship each year, despite the 'Cats always being ranked higher) or at Wake Forest in the ACC.

This interest was heightened as a result of the Kevin Bacon factor being knocked down a few degrees as he was the high school coach of Dave Morgan, my neighbor for 4 yrs. in the barracks at school, at Central Catholic in Wheeling WVa. Dave would always see Coach Prosser put in a "tuck" to take out the slack in his dress shirt while pulling up his pants in the locker room. The "tuck" was one of the very first things we learned how to do at school and to this day it is an unconcious habit to my dressing routine. Dave finally asked, "Coach, what's that you're doing?" Thus began Coach Prosser's dialog with Dave about Kings Point.

Read the attached article by Andy Katz of ESPN.com if you've got the time. Coach Prosser was one of the good guys.
