The Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award is an award given annually to the nation's men's head basketball coach in NCAA Division I competition who also exhibits strong moral character. The award was established in 2008 and is named for legendary head coach Skip Prosser, who spent most of his coaching tenure at Xavier and Wake Forest.[1] Prosser is the only coach in NCAA history to lead three separate teams to the NCAA Tournament in his first season with the team.[2] Prosser died from a heart attack on July 26, 2007, at age 56.[2]
