Tonight at 6pm a funeral service will be held for one of the good guys. Wake Forest Basketball Coach Skip Prosser died last Tuesday from a massive (and sudden) heart attack. His death has deeply saddened the entire campus - it is as if the heart of the university has broken. The Quad has been rolled in his honor (twice!) articles have been written, old players have returned but it still does not seem real. Not only was he a good coach, he was a good man. He was a lover of literature and history often known to quote Greek scholars and Shakespeare or make references to obscure historical events. He paid as much attention to the players' development off the court as he did to their on-court progress. Every Senior that played for him graduated with a WFU degree and a knowledge that they were better people for having known him. Skip, we will miss you and will think of you every time we don our tie-die and cheer for the Deacs that you so loved. Here are some tributes that can tell his story better than I....
