Wake Rugby Mourns Passing of Skip Prosser

The Wake Forest community is mourning the sudden passing of Wake Forest Men's Basketball Head Coach Skip Prosser, who died yesterday at the age of 56 after suffering an apparent heart attack. Prosser was a good friend of the Wake rugby program, having played rugby himself during his senior year at the Merchant Marine Academy. He was always willing to take time out of his busy schedule to discuss the art of coaching with former Wake head rugby coach Pat Kane, and the two met on multiple ocassions. Prosser had also agreed to be the keynote speaker at the Rugby Final Four banquest hosted by Wake this past spring, but had to pull out at the last minute to go on the recruiting trail. Prosser was a fantastic coach and a great person, and he will be missed.
