It seems fitting to remember Coach Prosser today because of the tournament. I was on vacation when I heard the news - checking my email one final time before a long flight home from a tropical destination. “Wake’s coach died” was the subject line I think. I could not believe it. I got back in time for his funeral, which I watched in Wait Chapel with several hundred others.
The next day, the funeral home brought tons of flower arrangements to campus. They placed them all outside the front of the chapel. To the right, closest to Huffman House dorm, were arrangements from the other Big 4 schools - Duke blue and white roses, Carolina blue and white roses, NC State red and white roses.
For some reason, those three solitary wreaths of flowers spoke volumes to me. They seemed very quiet and dignified and I was glad to see the other schools paying tribute to Coach. I wish I had a picture of it.
