Skip Prosser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Edward "Skip" Prosser (born November 3, 1950 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is the head basketball coach at Wake Forest University. Previously, he coached Xavier University for seven seasons, where he achieved great success. In addition, he coached for one year at Loyola College in Maryland, where he took the Greyhounds to the team's only modern-day NCAA appearance. Prosser's teams are known for their fast tempo and offensive explosiveness, more than they are known for defensive tenacity. He was the Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 2003. His teams have at times been participants in the NCAA Tournament in March, although Wake Forest did not participate in the 2006 or 2007 seasons. Prosser is credited for sparking participation in the Wake Forest student Screamin' Demons. Skip Prosser was the collegiate coach of current NBA players Aaron Williams, James Posey, David West, Josh Howard, Darius Songaila, and Chris Paul.
Prosser, raised in the Pittsburgh suburbs, played basketball at the United States Merchant Marine Academy.
