Skip - You defined my four years at Wake and never hesitated to stop for a second and talk to us either on campus or right before a big game. I can't thank you enough for all of that. You will be missed Skip.

There was never a time that I didn't walk by him and he didn't smile and say hey. He was a gentleman and will be truly missed. Our prayers are with the Prosser's and the rest of our Wake Forest family

We couldn't have had a better coach to represent our university, but Skip may be missed more because of everything he did for the Wake Forest community. He will be sorely missed.

When I went to basketball camp, he would say, "if you can't be on time, be early!" He was tthe nicest coaches I have ever met. I am very proud that I received the "Mr. Hustle" award from him in 2006. I have a picture of Coach Prosser and some of my friends that I will always love. I thank him for everything he did for Wake Forest basketball. As my parents said, he was a truly classy individual that brought much respect to Wake Forest. We will always love him!

I am very sorry for this terrible loss for Wake Forest. I had great respect for him and the way he conducted himself during games. Skip Prosser will be missed by the entire ACC family. My special condolences to his family, to his former players, and to those who had great expectations of playing for him for the first time this season.

What a great pleasure it was being a student during your coaching years at Wake Forest. Skip I am forever grateful to warm pizzas on cold nights in the parking lot at the Joel, for fist pumps at the beginning and end of big games (win or lose), for emphasizing the class that consititues the Wake Forest program, skipping class to go hear your luncheons at Bridger during the season, and for your loving Skipisms along the way! I was there the day you were announced Wake Forest head basketball coach 7 years ago and I will be gathered on the Quad tonight with everyone that you touched, rememebering the great man, teacher, coach, and friend you were to all of us. May God bless your family.

Skip Prosser will be missed, among other things, for his unique personality and the care he showed for those around him.

His weekly in-season emails to the WFU student body in recent years were a joy to read, full of his witty expressions and earnest excitement for the position he held. His post-game remarks made the ride back to campus a lot of fun.

Sincerest thoughts of support and healing go to the members of the Prosser family and all of the communities that hold them dear.

There are no words to justify such a tragic and unexpected loss of such a wonderful person, coach, friend, and leader. Skip gave the Wake Forest family so many memories that will forever last along with his legacy. My personal favorite was December 20, 2003, when the Deacs beat the Tar Heels in triple overtime. Thank you for making people so excited about Wake Forest basketball, thank you for taking young men and turning them into amazing athletes with incredible character, and thank you for so many other lasting memories. Prayers to the family and to Wake Forest.

Coach Prosser was an excellent coach who always took the time to speak to you, either at practice or a clinic. The profession lost a great teacher and coach. Rest in Peace Coach Prosser
