Skip Prosser

"I believe that one of the greatest honors a player can bestow on a coach is to call him 'Coach' -- forever," Kelsey said yesterday while delivering the eulogy during a memorial Mass for Prosser at Xavier.
Prosser, 56, who coached at Xavier before becoming men's basketball coach at Wake Forest in 2001, died of an apparent heart attack in his office July 26.
