I was a student at Wheeling College when Coach Prosser was coaching in the neighborhood there and have followed his career with interest. I was ecstatic when my alma mater hired him. His death is so crushingly unfair to his family and team. This is a terrible loss, especially for those closest to him.

Tar Heel born, Tar Heel bred. A UNC alum. My late Aunt was just the opposite. She was a HUGE Wake fan. When she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and Coach Prosser learned of it, he sent her an autographed basketball. What a class act. It was always my intention to someday thank him in person for his kind gesture. He'll be missed by the entire ACC. There are too few like him. Condolances to his family and WFU.

My husband and I, both born and raised here in Winston-Salem, have always been Wake Forest fans. Coach Prosser has been one of the best coaches WF has had. He was not only a great basketball coach, but he was also a teacher, mentor, and a friend to his guys. He helped them in all aspects of life, not just basketball.
We had the great pleasure of meeting Coach this past Easter at our church's Easter production, "Behold Him". He was in our church lobby, waiting on his wife, when we noticed him and went up to introduce ourselves and to welcome him to First Assembly and the production. My husband and I were ushering that night. He talked with us briefly and was very kind and warm. A little later, but before the production started, I noticed him sitting down, and my 10 year old grandson was with me, and I took him over to meet him. Coach talked to him like he had known him forever. Austin had been to some of the games at the Joel with his grandfather and had become very much a Wake fan also, so this was a special moment for him. Coach did not make us feel like we were intruding or bothering him, even though this was his personal time with his family and friends. He told us that even though our church is across the street from the WF campus, that this was the first time he had been in our church, and I now feel even more blessed to have had the opportunity to be one of the ones that welcomed him there.
Our community, Wake Forest University and the city of Winston-Salem, has lost a great man. May the Lord give his family peace, comfort, and strength from their loss, and also the assurance of knowing that "Coach" is in HIS hands.

I have been a Deacon fan my whole life and am a WFU alumn along with quite a few family members. We love everything about WFU & especially the sports. When Coach Prosser died ,it felt like a family member had died. That's because at WFU, we are a small close-knit family. There are not many of us out there but we all share a common bond! Coach Prosser gave us many good things to enjoy... Great games & great players. He was a truly remarkable man and his character reminds me of all that WFU stands for. I remember when he so graciously posed for a picture with my kids at the Orange Bowl. I will cherish the picture always. He was truly a class act!

When Skip was at Xavier, the Cintas Center had just been opened and I came over to watch practice. After practice Skip offered to give me a personal tour of the arena. He easily could have given the task over to an assistant or a manager, but that was Skip, he treated you the same whether you were a CYO coach or an NBA coach. I only got to talk/see him maybe 1-2 times a year but I feel his loss badly and will continue to pray for his family and friends.

Skip Prosser was a GREAT coach. We will miss him in the ACC. While a Maryland Fan, I always enjoy watching the games he coached. I always rooted for Wake when they were not playing Maryland. The ACC and the ACC Tournment won't be the same. Wake Forest lost a great individual in Skip Prosser. The Prosser family is in our prayers.

When my son was 10 years old, he had the opportunity to take care of the Prosser's parrot, "Tweetie." He was thrilled to be able to meet "Coach" and spend some time talking with him about basketball and life in general. Imagine his surprise and delight when he was invited to come to the Prosser's house for Selection Sunday and meet the WFU team! "Coach" even drove him home after the festivities of that evening. He was walking on Cloud 9 for weeks! My son did not really seen much of "Coach" the following year, but he got a phone call on Selection Sunday from Coach Prosser, telling him that there was "someone missing from the party and it was him." My son flew over to the Prosser house and was once again warmly greeted by the Prossers and the team. Coach Prosser took the time and effort to make a little 10 year old boy feel like he was the most important person in the world. My son is now 16 and will never forget how "Coach" made him feel. God bless you Coach Prosser. Your death has left a hole in our hearts. You will be sorely missed by all.

Thanks to Skip and his staff for bringing fun, exciting times to "The Joel".
My prayers and condolences to his mom, wife, sons and all of the Wake Forest family for such an enexpected and tragic loss. After reading so many of the tributes I am truly saddened that I didn't get to know such a special person on a personal level. But the view from the upper level, the TV games and the coaches shows had already shown me that he was a special man.
I am very thankful for his time at Wake and we will greatly miss Skip Prosser.

Forgot to add this to my message. One of our neighbors had one (or two) sons at Linsly when Coach Prosser was there. Don't know if the boy(s) played hoops. Anyway, after meeting Coach at a parent-teacher conference and praising his teaching skills, the mother said to all who would listen: He's going to go very far in life.

I have been a HUGE Wake fan my whole life, and have really enjoyed the years with Coach Prosser! I moved back to GSO after grad. school and began teaching high school. That is when he began coaching our beloved DEACS. My family and I are truly saddened by your loss, but we know that he is in a better place. You are all in our thoughts and prayers, and will continue to be. I actually have a picture with Coach and me up in my classroom. It was taken at the basketball awards banquet CP's last year. I took my dad as a surprise for his birthday. Although it was only for a moment, I felt the warmth and friendliness from Coach Prosser that many have talked about these past few days. I will cherish that picture and moment even more now. Thanks for the memories, Coach P! "....and until we meet again, may GOD hold you in the palm of His hand."~ from an Irish Blessing
Prayers, peace, and grace to you all.
GO DEACS!!

I played for Coach Prosser at Wheeling Central Catholic High School in Wheeling, WV from 1983 to 1885. Coach not only taught me how to play basketball, but also taught me lessons in life. Those lessons hold true today. He will be missed, but not forgotten.

The most meaningful aspect about being an alumni of WFU, is that fact that I can take immense pride in knowing that; caring, honorable, ehtical, and passionate leaders are at the helm. Coach Prosser always lead by example. I loved to watch him during times of good and bad on the court, he appeared to always be moving forward and not backward. As I understnad it, he never cursed, embarassed, or voilated anyone in any way. He was generous with a pat on the back, a few words of encouragement, and coaching not critisizing. He coached a good game. We all will remember Coach Prosser's qualities and example to others. Our greatest sympathies to his family. He is in the hands of God.
