I can't find any thing any where about this........

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Just found this at Fox Sports.....

FOX Sports on MSN - COLLEGE BASKETBALL - Prosser dies of apparent heart attack

The Wake Forest site has nothing.....

 

[JZVOL]

wow, I haven't heard anything either. I guess Vick, the NBA ref and Bonds are overshadowing this.

 

[Freak]

How old was he?

 

[Football Freak]

Wow. terrible news. You would think it would be breaking news on ESPN cause I had not heard about it.

 

[Freak]

I decided to not be lazy and look it up. He was 56.

Sad news. Prosser was almost universally popular among his peers.

Damn that sucks. He just landed 2 big time recruits for the 08 class as well.

 

[TennNC]

Sad news. Prosser was almost universally popular among his peers.

and had some top-notch recruits coming in who were going to help Wake return to the top echelon of the ACC.

Wow. I had no Idea that Skipped passed on yesterday. I a Huge fan of ACC basketball so I'm very familiar with him and the Wake Forest Demons. My prayers go out to him, his family, the school, his friends, and the team.

 

[milohimself]

Terrible news. As Hat said, he was extremely popular among fellow college hoops coaches.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

I was shocked last nite when I heard this news. My thoughts go out to his family and the WF Nation....just goes to prove you never know when your # will be called.

Saddest game of the year this year will be Wake Forest vs. Bucknell

Prosser's son is a coach at Bucknell and the game was scheduled because he wanted to coach against his dad... i hate for this to happen

 

[Cincy Vol o5]

This is so sad
All he did for the programs he was at.
Look where he took XU and Wake.
He was loved as a coach and a person.
