2016 SKIP PROSSER AWARD
HOUSTON, TX -- Former Army head coach Zack Spiker is the recipient of the 2016 Skip Prosser award.
Spiker, who was recently named as the new coach at Drexel, led Army to its' first postseason appearance since 1978. He led the Black Knights to a 19-14 record, which tied for the best overall mark in the Patriot League and was the most for Army in over 30 years.
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.
Skip Prosser posted a career record of 291-146 in 14 seasons as a head coach at Loyola, Xavier and Wake Forest. During his time at Wake, Prosser’s teams averaged 21 wins per season while playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
