Death of a Celtic Warrior

[macsim]

The Wake Forest University community lost one of our own today. Skip Prosser, our head basketball coach died of a heart attack at age 56. Skip was a great lover of all things Celtic (I believe Prosser is a Welsh name) and I was privileged to meet him at the Celtic Music Festival in Winston-Salem where I had this photo taken in 2002. (I'm wearing a kilt, you just can't see it so I guess this qualifies as a kilt pic.) Skip was the only coach to ever lead three separate teams to NCAA berths in his first season, won an ACC Regular Season Championship and had also been ACC Coach of the Year. Skip's lifetime record was 291-146. He was known for his wit, his forthrightness, his passion for the game and his love for his players. We mourn his loss and extend our sympathies to his family.
