For most of his 63 years, basketball has been the drumbeat of Fred Procter’s life.
He played the sport at Wayne State. He coached it at Detroit St. Martin De Porres, where he won a high school state championship. He coached it at Lake Superior State and the University of Detroit. And two years ago, he opened his own basketball training facility, The Practice Zone, in Farmington Hills.
