Skip Prosser, one of college basketball’s winningest active coaches, enters his second season at
Wake Forest and he has already made his mark on
the Demon Deacon program.
In Prosser’s first season at Wake Forest, he led the
Deacons to a 21-13 record, a third-place finish in the
highly-competitive Atlantic Coast Conference and
an NCAA Tournament appearance.
In nine seasons overall, Prosser has compiled a
186-91 (.671) record, giving him one of the highest
winning percentages among all active Division I
coaches. He is one of 29 coaches in NCAA history to
lead three different schools to the NCAA
Tournament and he is the first to lead all three
teams to the NCAA Tournament in his first season at
each school.
Prior to coming to Winston-Salem, Prosser
enjoyed remarkable success at Xavier University
from 1995-2001, compiling a
148-65 (.695) record in seven
seasons.
Prosser was named Wake
Forest’s head coach on April
24, 2001, replacing Dave
Odom.
“I don’t have a career
record,” Prosser said. “The
players won those games.”
Despite Prosser’s modesty, it is impossible to
ignore the success that
has followed his career:
▲ His teams have won
20 games or more in
each of the last six seasons and seven times
overall.
▲ In nine years as a
head coach, Prosser’s
teams have earned
postseason bids eight
times.
▲ He has guided
teams to conference
championships
in
three
different
leagues (Atlantic 10,
MCC and MAAC).
▲ Xavier earned a
record of 71-35
(.669) in conference play during
his tenure -- second
only
to
Temple in the
Atlantic 10.
▲
Xavier
earned back-toback Atlantic 10
West
regular
season crowns
in 1997 and 1998.
▲ In his last five
Skip and Nancy Prosser
seasons at Xavier,

the Musketeers beat crosstown rival Cincinnati four
times. Two of those victories came against Bearcat
teams ranked No. 1 in the nation.
▲ At Xavier, 83 percent of Prosser’s players graduated (100 percent of the seniors) -- one of the
highest graduation rates in the country.
▲ In 1994, he led Loyola (Md.) College to the
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament
crown.
Prosser spent 15 years at Xavier, first as an assistant coach under Pete Gillen for eight seasons. After
a one-year stint as head coach at Loyola (Md.)
College, Prosser returned to Xavier as the head
coach, replacing Gillen, who now coaches at Virginia.
Leaving Xavier and the city of Cincinnati was not
easy.
“I’ve been through a lot of springs with calls and
inquiries and invitations to visit other campuses,”
Prosser said. “Something about Wake Forest rang
true for me.”
On his visit to Wake Forest,
Prosser liked the
people, the area,
the school’s academic reputation
and intimate size.
And then there was
the prospect of
coaching
in
the
Atlantic
Coast
Conference.
“As the commercial
says: The greatest risk
is not taking one,”
Prosser said.
"I know how difficult
it (the ACC) is, but the
challenge is part of
what excites me. We
came here to play and
coach against these
teams. It's a daunting
challenge but if the players are willing to come to
Wake to win, then I am
certainly not going to shy
away from that challenge."
And the Deacons proved
Prosser correct. In his first
season of ACC play, Prosser
led Wake to a 9-7 record in
the league, tying for third
place behind only the two
most recent NCAA champions -- Maryland and Duke.
Only four coaches in the 49year history of the ACC won
more league games in their
rookie year than Prosser did
last season.
Prosser
accomplished
much in his initial season with
the Deacons:
▲ Wake posted 21 wins
WAKE FOREST BASKETBALL 2002-03
HEAD COACH SKIP PROSSER
same thing about Skip Prosser: 'If you can hire him, you better get
him.' Not only is he a great basketball coach, but he's a great person.
"Skip Prosser knows the rules and he follows them. He doesn't push
the rules as far as he can and see what he can get away with. He
knows the rules and he follows them strictly. Secondly, he graduates
his players. At Xavier, he graduated 83 percent of his players, which
is one of the highest rates in the nation. He is committed to the academic process. Thirdly, he is a great representative of our university.
And fourth, he wins. His record shows that he knows how to win basketball games.
"We are going to find that Skip Prosser is a great fit at Wake Forest
University."
Prosser expects his players to attend class and graduate. He expects
his players to be solid representatives of the university. On the court,
he expects his players to work extremely hard and compete for championships.
“I won’t make a lot of promises but I won’t make excuses, either.

despite facing one of the nation’s most difficult schedules (Wake
played seven teams ranked in the top 10).
▲ Prosser was a finalist for the Naismith National Coach of the Year
Award.
▲ He became the first rookie coach at Wake Forest since 1927 to
post a winning record.
▲ The Deacons swept rivals North Carolina and NC State.
▲ Wake advanced to postseason play for the 12th consecutive year
and won an NCAA Tournament game for the first time since 1997.
▲ The Deacons set a school record for points scored, assists and
three-point attempts in one season.
Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman searched nationwide for
a new basketball coach and he sought the advice of some of basketball’s top minds. Prosser’s name continued to surface over and over
again.
"When I started the process, I called the people who I thought knew
the best college basketball coaches in the nation. They all said the

Our goal is to compete for championships every
year. Our style will be to play
very quickly. We
expect to win
every time we
play
and
we
expect to be the
h a rd e s t - p l a y i n g
team on the court.
“I hate to lose to
anybody. I’m not a
good loser. I abhor
the losses a lot more
than I enjoy the
wins.”
Prosser expects his
team to hold the
same goals as the university.
"Wake Forest has the
vision to be the best
university it can be and
to be one of the best in
the country. The same
is true with our basketball team. We want to
be the best team we can
be and we want to compete with the best teams
in the country."
In 17 years as a college coach, Prosser has
coached in 15 postseason tournaments including
seven NCAA Tournaments in eight years as a Xavier
assistant, one NCAA Tournament in one year at
Loyola College and four NCAA berths and two NIT
appearances in seven years as
the XU head coach.
Prosser has seen many of
his players go on to enjoy
successful careers in the NBA
and overseas. In 2002, Darius
Songaila was taken in the
second round of the NBA
Draft by the Boston Celtics.
During his tenure as
Xavier’s head coach, six of
Prosser’s players went on
to star on the professional level. James Posey
(Denver Nuggets) and
Torraye Braggs (Detroit
Pistons) are in the
NBA. Michael Hawkins,
Gary Lumpkin, Lenny
Brown and Darnell
Williams are also enjoying
pro
basketball
careers.
As an assistant at Xavier,
Prosser helped recruit
future NBA players such as
Derek
Strong,
Aaron
Williams, Larry Sykes, Tyrone
Hill, Brian Grant and Michael
Hawkins.
In Prosser’s final season at
Xavier
in
2000-01,
the
Musketeers posted a 21-8
record with just one senior in
the starting lineup, earning an
NCAA Tournament bid.
The previous season,
1999-00, Xavier finished
66
Mark, Skip and Scott Prosser
David Rosen photo
21-12, securing its fourth straight 20-win season
and its fifth 20-win season in six years under Prosser.
In 1997-98, XU earned an 11-5 mark in the
Atlantic 10 and went on to capture the league’s
postseason tournament.
In 1996-97, Xavier won the first of two consecutive Atlantic 10 Conference West Division titles by
going 13-3 in the league despite having no seniors
among its top six players. For his efforts, Prosser was
named the Basketball Times Mideast Coach of the
Year and the NABC District 10 Coach of the Year.
In 1995-96, Xavier jumped from the MCC to the
Atlantic 10 and many critics doubted the move. The
Musketeers lost five of their top six players from the
1994-95 team, but managed to finish with an 8-8
Atlantic 10 regular season record. But Prosser’s
teams went on to silence those critics by going 5723 in Atlantic 10 play from 1997-2001.
Prosser’s first Xavier team in 1994-95 won the
Midwestern Collegiate Conference regular season
title with a perfect 14-0 mark (23-5 overall). Prosser
was named the MCC Coach of the Year that season.
Prior to taking over as head coach at Xavier,
Prosser spent one season (1993-94) as the head
coach at Loyola (Md.) College and enjoyed a true
Cinderella season. He took over a squad that finished 2-25 the previous season. But Prosser led
Loyola to a 17-13 mark in 1993-94, making the NCAA
Tournament for the only time in that school’s history. It marked the biggest turnaround in NCAA
Division I basketball in 1994. The underdog
Greyhounds won three MAAC Tournament games en
route to winning the championship and capturing
the automatic NCAA bid.
Before his stop at Loyola, Prosser spent eight
years as the top assistant under Gillen. Prosser was a
member of Gillen’s first staff at Xavier in 1985.
During Prosser’s time as a Xavier assistant, the
Musketeers compiled a record of 180-67, capturing
five Midwestern Collegiate Conference Tournament
championships and five MCC regular season titles
while earning seven NCAA Tournament berths.
Xavier advanced to at least the second round of the
NCAA Tournament in four of seven appearances,

Xavier’s recruiting efforts enjoyed great
growth during Prosser’s time as an assistant.
Prosser spent his final six seasons as the
recruiting coordinator in addition to being
the top assistant. As an assistant coach, he
concentrated his efforts on the guards
including Byron Larkin, Stan Kimbrough,
Jamal Walker, Michael Davenport, Jamie
Gladden and Michael Hawkins, all of whom
scored more than 1,000 career points.
Prosser came to Xavier as an assistant
coach in 1985 after an illustrious coaching
career on the high school level in Wheeling
(WV). He took over as head coach at Central
Catholic High School in Wheeling in 1979. His
six-year ledger read 104-48, including a state
AA championship in 1982. The 1982 team set
a school record for victories, finishing 25-2.
Prosser’s state championship team included
Doug Wojcik, who is currently an assistant
coach in the ACC at North Carolina.
His last team, in 1984-85, made it to the
state finals. In all, Prosser guided the Maroon
Knights to one state title (1982), five regional championships (1981-82-83-84-85) and
three conference crowns (1982-83-85).
Dino Gaudio, an assistant at Xavier under
Gillen from 1987-93 and currently a Wake
Forest assistant, was Prosser’s top assistant
coach for four years at Central Catholic.
Prosser began his coaching career at Linsly
Institute in Wheeling, spending time as the
freshman coach (1972-76) and junior varsity
coach (1976-77) before being promoted to
head varsity coach (1977-79). Linsly compiled
a record of 33-9 with Prosser as the varsity
coach.
A 1972 graduate of the United States
Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point
(NY), with a degree in Nautical Science,
Prosser played three years of basketball as a
guard and one year of rugby as a collegian.
Wofford.
Prosser is the 19th head coach in Wake
Forest history and just the fourth since 1972.
Carl Tacy coached 13 seasons, from 1973-85.
Bob Staak was the Deacon coach for four
years, from 1986-89. Dave Odom took over in
1990 and coached 12 seasons before resigning April 10 to take the head coaching position at the University of South Carolina.
“Coaching isn’t wins and losses,” Prosser
said. “It’s teaching. That’s the reason I got
into coaching and the reason I’ve stayed in
coaching.
“I still think of myself as an educator.”
