It’s hard for longtime Wake Forest fans like myself to believe that it has been ten years to the day since our beloved coach Skip Prosser died of a heart attack after running running on the track at Kentner Stadium on campus.
Today, Demon Deacon fans, former players, coaches, broadcasters, and people all across the basketball world share their memories of Skip and talk about his impact on their lives.
For me personally, I remember Coach Prosser as always being kind and reaching out to all Deacon fans, but especially interacting with kids. After contacting his office and informing them that I would be at the game on my birthday, Skip sent me a signed poster of the 2003-04 team on which he had written “Happy Birthday Edward”.
