SAN ANTONIO, TX -- Lipscomb’s Casey Alexander is the recipient of the 2018 Skip Prosser Man of the Year award.

 

Alexander led the Bisons to their first-ever Atlantic Sun tournament championship and first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.  Lipscomb finished the season 23-10, which included an eight-game winning streak, culminating in a 108-96 victory over FGCU in the ASUN Tournament Final. 

 

“Casey Alexander has built Lipscomb into a perennial contender and he has done the right way,” said CollegeInsider.com’s Angela Lento. “His program has been strong both on the court and in the classroom and he has always conducted himself in a first class manner. He is a very deserving recipient of this award, which extends well beyond the X’s and O’s.”

 

This season marked the first time in program history that the Bisons have posted back-to-back 20-win seasons and the 23 wins are the most in school history.

Named after the late Skip Prosser, who died suddenly in 2007 while the head coach at Wake Forest, the award is presented annually to those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who also display moral integrity off of it as well.

Prosser posted a career record of 291-146 in 14 seasons as a head coach at Loyola, Xavier and Wake Forest.
