I was just about to post this...that's terrible if true.

7/26/2007 3:21:48 PM

*funny how wiki has become the first search for news

7/26/2007 3:22:23 PM

7/26/2007 3:23:52 PM

http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?S=192&F=1118&T=758561

is going to blow up

7/26/2007 3:25:19 PM

Actually wiki does have the heart attack/death on there, not that that is any real confirmation. Reminds me of the Benoit thing though.

Nothing on the WXII website. Any real source? SFN typically doesn't make stuff up but I wonder if anything credible is behind this.

7/26/2007 3:26:54 PM

wow this sucks for us, they might actually get a good coach now

I dont believe Wiki though, wait till the AP comes through

7/26/2007 3:27:32 PM

who?

His condition wasn't available from the hospital, and Wake Forest officials also would not comment on what happened. Prosser, who is 56 came to Wake Forest in 2001. Before that he coached at Loyola and Xavier. He took each of those schools to the NCAA Tournament in his first season at each of those schools. "
